The English Riviera’s SUP Community Paddles Onward!
SUP is a fantastic way to explore the stunning coastline of the English Riviera. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or a curious beginner, the calm waters and beautiful scenery provide the perfect backdrop for your adventure.
This year, the sport seems to be gaining even more momentum. We've seen a surge in interest, with more people taking to the water and local businesses catering to this growing community. Did you know the English Riviera is even hosting the National SUPERChamps event this September? 3 days of events, activities and training. It's shaping up to be a real highlight of the season!
World Championship Dreams?
The rumours are swirling that the English Riviera might be throwing its hat in the ring to host the 2028 World Championships! This would be a huge coup for the town, bringing in enthusiasts from all over the globe.

2. Suitable for All Levels: Whether you're a seasoned paddleboarder or a complete beginner, the English Riviera offers ideal conditions for everyone. Take your first steps on a paddleboard while enjoying the calm and sheltered bays, or challenge yourself with more advanced routes along the stunning coastline. We have a variety of training providers and equipment hire venues.
3. Fantastic Wildlife Encounters: As you explore the Bay's waters, keep your eyes peeled for incredible wildlife encounters. Dolphins, seals, and a variety of sea birds are often spotted during paddleboarding adventures, making your experience even more special. Don't forget your camera to capture these magical moments!
Why Choose a SUP-Friendly B&B?
If you're planning a SUP getaway to Torquay, choosing a B&B that caters to paddlers can make a world of difference. Here at [Your B&B Name], we understand the needs of SUP enthusiasts:
Secure Storage: Lugging your board around town isn't ideal. We offer secure storage facilities to keep your board safe and sound during your stay.
Washing Down Area: Saltwater and sand are inevitable companions of SUP. Having a designated washing down area makes cleaning your board a breeze before tucking it away for the night.
Local Knowledge: We're happy to share our knowledge of the best launch spots, scenic routes, and hidden coves to explore.
More Than Just a Paddle
Of course, the English Riviera offers plenty beyond SUP. But staying at a SUP-friendly B&B shows we understand the active lifestyle you enjoy. We can recommend local restaurants perfect for refuelling after a paddle, or help you plan other adventures to complement your time on the water.
