Beginner’s Guide to Paddleboarding
at Wongaling Beach
If you’ve ever wanted to stand on water without supernatural abilities, paddleboarding is your sport.
Wongaling Beach happens to be one of the most perfect places to try it — gentle waves, wide open space, and calm morning waters that practically whisper: “Go on… give it a go.”
Why Paddleboarding Is Perfect for Beginners
The water is usually calm
You can kneel, sit, or lie down if confidence levels are… flexible
Falling in is refreshing, not embarrassing — everyone does it

How to Get Started
Pick the right time: early morning is best — glassy water, fewer people, cooler weather
Start on your knees: dignity is optional
Rise slowly: think “majestic flamingo,” not “baby giraffe”
Look ahead: not at your feet, unless you want to meet the water
What You Might See
Fish darting beneath you
Birds cruising the coastline
Occasional dolphins (if you’re REALLY lucky)
Locals who look suspiciously good at this
A Very Mission Beach Activity
Paddleboarding gives you instant holiday serenity.
Glide. Breathe. Smile.
Then glide back to Fridays at Three for a well-earned stretch-out on the deck.
