Paddle Collective

When paddlers meet paddlers, it’s instant family. Huge thanks to the crew at for showing us their coastline the best way possible, from the seat of a ski. Cruisy downwind runs, stunning views of Lisbon from the water, and post paddle treats that might be the best we’ve ever had.

This is what makes ocean paddling special. You can rock up anywhere in the world and the local community will take you in, share their runs and their stoke, and send you home with new mates.

If you’re ever in Lisbon with a paddle in hand, look these legends up.

Last minute discovery and tinker to get the boat lined up and ready for the race tomorrow morning

Sella Descent 2026 campaign has kicked off. Boat is sorted, pump installed, time trial complete. The starting grid is sorted for Saturday and we've got our work cut out amongst the best Marathon kayakers in the world. Stay tuned! Bounce down is 12pm Saturday 8th August local time / 7pm WA time and 9pm QLD time.

PADDLE COLLECTIVE - Welcome to the Chalupski family!

Growing a global brand has never been about finding distributors.
It's about finding the right people.

People who love paddling.
People who understand their local community.
People who share our belief in making surfski paddling accessible, enjoyable and rewarding for everyone.

That's exactly what we've found in Reece Baker and Murray Stewart of Paddle Collective who now join us as the exclusive ChalupSki distributor for Australia.

This partnership has been made possible through the combined efforts of Reece and Murray, Walter Chalupsky, and our manufacturing partner Peishengboat who are ready to grow the ChalupSki community throughout Australia.

Health permitting, I will soon be heading to Australia to run clinics, meet paddlers and share the thinking behind the ChalupSki philosophy and our advanced autoclave construction technology.

Welcome aboard, Paddle Collective - this is just the beginning!
