This series is all about participation and encouraging residents to get out on the water or come down to the beach to enjoy Darwin’s beautiful dry season conditions; all under the supervision of our experienced surf lifesavers.
The series offers participants a variety of short and long ocean paddle courses and a number of beach runs along some beautiful coastlines.
The ocean paddles are suitable for sea kayaks, dragon boats, ocean skis, outrigger canoes, stand up paddleboards, surf skis and surfboats - other craft are eligible if deemed suitable by SLSNT. Participants in the ocean paddles must be at least 15 years of age and be proficient swimmers.
