Evening SUP Polo Ellerton Lake 2026

Only available to self proficient paddlers.

What is SUP polo?

SUP Polo is a cross between stand up paddleboarding, water polo and lacrosse played on inflatable SUP boards with paddles. Great fun and addictively challenging. Two teams battle it out to retrieve the ball with specially made paddles and shoot or throw the ball into against their goal.
