Welcome to Paddle Fit Perth

Where the river meets resilience and the ocean challenges you to grow.
With over 40 years of paddling experience, Paddle Fit Perth is more than a fitness class, it’s a movement. Led by State and Australian surf ski champion Mark Stewart, our sessions start on the calm waters of the Swan River at Freshwater Bay, right here in Perth, Western Australia.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced paddler, you’ll build confidence, improve technique, and develop strength all while surrounded by nature. Once you’ve mastered the basics, we’ll take you to the ocean for thrilling downwind surf ski sessions that truly harness the power of the sea.

🏄‍♀️ What makes us different?
We’re building a modern paddling tribe, open to all ages and fitness levels. A place where community, personal growth, and adventure come together.

Follow our page to join the journey. Let’s paddle with purpose.
📍Based in Peppermint Grove WA 6011, Australia
