Explore SUP sessionsSHOE assessment
Goose has publicly referenced the SHOE assessment as a simple way to make sea sessions safer. Ask Paul to walk you through how he uses it. Sessions are planned around wind, tide, sea state and water confidence rather than a rigid timetable.
Sea safety detailsCooden Beach conditions
Independent spot guides describe Cooden Beach as working best with a westerly component, especially SW, WSW and W winds. Mid to low tide is often referenced as the more useful window, but low water can expose rocks, so conditions should be checked before launching.
