Straddie Surf & SUP Academy

Looking to SUP in Queensland, Australia? Look no further than Staddie Surf and SUP Academy! Perfect Paddles recommends taking a beginner lesson with owner and founder Chris Semple for a complete understanding of SUP!

My name is Chris Semple and I have grown up here on Nth Stradbroke Island. I started surfing and being involved with the ocean at a very young age.

I have been involved in the Point Lookout Boardriders Club for many years, quite a few as President and more recently started Stand Up Paddling which has become somewhat of an addiction. I quite often see the sun rising while my friends and I paddle in some of the calmest, glassiest conditions you will ever witness and not only does it put a smile on your face but it can be a great workout depending on home much effort you feel like putting in.

My instructors and I are fully certified and hold current senior first aid and surf rescue certificates not to mention the decades of knowledge about the ocean and this beautiful island we call home.

Welcome to Straddie Stand Up Paddle. Stand Up Paddling is a great way to keep fit whilst having a great time. Safe and fun for the whole family. No matter what age or skill level you will be up and away in no time. Get ready for SUP!
