Wow Factor: Point Walter is hands down the best location to spend
a day SUP'ing, especially if you’re a beginner. It's completely sheltered from the
wind coming from either direction so it's flat, glassy water couldn’t be more
perfect for an intro lesson or leisurely paddle.

For those who haven’t been, Point Walter Reserve is an awesome park for the entire family, complete with a playground, picnic areas, swimming, showers/toilets, free BBQs - not to mention Walter's River Cafe. The only thing catch is that it's not dog-friendly so you'll have the leave the pooch behind.
