What to expect
You'll collect your board, paddle and safety gear from the Red Paddle setup—no faffing about with complicated rentals. The two-hour window gives you time to paddle out, find your rhythm, and cruise the bay properly. Water conditions vary, but St Kilda's fairly sheltered. Expect to work your core steadily; even calm water requires balance and engagement. Most paddlers head toward the pier where penguin sightings are common at dusk. You'll return gear to the same spot.
