Established in 2009, the Indian Ocean Paddlers, or IOP, have been at the centre of ocean paddling in Western Australia.

Over these years, we have seen ocean paddling grow into a popular choice of sports for men and women of all ages and abilities.

If you are interested in joining us for a paddle, we paddle Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings to prepare the group for the long distances races throughout the season.

After each session, we meet at either the Sorrento Surf Club Cafe or at Finns Cafe for a coffee and a chat, mostly to talk about how well we paddled.

Paddle times will change during winter, so keep an eye out HERE for updates.

If you haven’t caught up with the latest news from OceanPaddler regarding this year’s Race Week, keep on reading.

This year, Race Week starts Saturday, 23 November and finishes Saturday, 30 November.

Entries for Race Week are open, so go to the OceanPaddlers Facebook page to get your entries in.
