We have created a 2023 Festival Events schedule to showcase local presenters and choices for on/off-water sessions that we hope will leave you feeling inspired. As the event date approaches, this schedule may have updates made to it as required. You can download a PDF version of the current schedule by clicking on: 2023 Events Schedule (PDF).
Please note that ALL on-water sessions are weather and sea-state dependent and conditions may arise that result in paddles described having to be modified or replaced with an alternative.
At the Fest, a detailed paddling schedule will be finalised day-by-day, according to weather conditions and what the sea leader/event organisers feel is appropriate for overall safety. Sign-up sheets will be put up for the paddling program each evening and the paddles on offer will be described so you can make a choice.
We have tried to offer a range of paddles, so that there is something for everyone, as such, some paddles may require you to be at a sea skills level in order to sign on to them (see FAQ for skill level descriptions).
You can also download the welcome package here (PDF).
