Where to Buy Surf Ski and Paddling Gear in Perth (and Online Australia-Wide)

Looking for surf ski or ocean paddling gear in Perth? Paddle Collective is Perth's surf ski specialist shop, run by coaches who paddle every day. We stock skis, paddles, PFDs and accessories, ship Australia-wide, and you can try before you buy at our weekly coached sessions at Hillarys, Port Beach, Mosman Bay and the Perth CBD.

National retailer for ChalupSki

Paddle Collective is the Australian national retailer for ChalupSki, the new surfski and paddle brand from Oscar Chalupsky, 12-time Molokai world champion. The ChalupSki philosophy is simple: stability comes before ability. The range covers every stage of the journey: the Tarifa (the ideal step up from a plastic ski), the Waikiki (beginner to intermediate stability with real glide), the Maui (the progression ski), the Molokai (a beginner-friendly race ski), with the M2M double and a Gorge OC1 on the way. Every ski is one size fits all (paddlers from 1.43 m to 2.10 m), comes in Carbon or Carbon Hybrid layups and includes the deBrito bailer that drains the cockpit up to 10 times faster than a standard venturi.

ChalupSki also makes two adjustable wing paddles: the forgiving, smooth Vortex and the technique-driven Wing, both in 660 and 700 cm² blade sizes, $520.
