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.

This year, Shaw and Partners WA Race Week starts Saturday, 22 November 2025 and finishes Saturday, 29 November 2025.
