Shellharbour SUP Festival

Reddall Reserve

The Shellharbour SUP Shellharbour will feature three days of exciting paddle boarding from flat water races to SUP surfing. There will be market stalls, food trucks and plenty of entertainment. The highly anticipated SUP surfing heats will kick off at Warilla Beach. Finals will be held the next day, crowning the winners of the men's and women's divisions of all age categories, followed by the heart-racing Battle of the Paddle race. Sunday is a celebration of SUP with a range of activities at Reddall Reserve, Lake Illawarra. Events include SUP Yoga & Sound Bath meditation, a novelty race, competitive distance race & SUP sprints. Winners will be presented with trophies and prize money. All competitors will be in the running for a range of prizes including a brand-new paddle board! Alongside the paddle boarding action, you can enjoy the entertainment, vendor stalls, activity stations, food trucks, a beach bar and sponsor marquees. There is something for everyone, from the dress-up themed novelty course for beginner to intermediate paddlers on inflatable paddle boards, to the more serious 9 km distance race. SUP sprints & "Pups on SUPs" will round off the day's paddle boarding events. Everyone is invited to enjoy the festivities. The main stage will feature local musicians and a head liner rock band.
So hippy for our inflatable race!
