    Questions

    Do I need to have paddled a ski before a demo?

    No. Pete takes out new and experienced paddlers. Tell him your level when you book and he will bring a boat that suits.

    Where do demos start?

    On Hampton Beach, off Beach Road near Hampton Pier. It is sheltered Port Phillip Bay water, so it suits first timers. Pete confirms the spot when he calls.

    What is a downwind run?

    A paddle with the wind and swell behind you, riding the runs. It is for experienced paddlers: ask Pete when you book.

    How does ordering online work?

    Add gear to your list and send it. Pete calls to confirm stock and how you get it. Nothing is charged on this site.

    Does Pete cover all of Victoria?
