SUP Buddies was created in 2020 from a love of stand up paddle boarding. We are a group of like-minded individuals who all love being outside, having fun and meeting new people.
Hi, I’m Sam…
I was born and brought up in beautiful Cornwall and have many childhood memories sitting on the Cornish cliffs watching the wild weather and the stunning sunsets. Passed down from my parents, I am proud of my Cornish heritage and love of the sea. I find smelling the fresh salty air, the escapism and freedom it brings good for the soul!
Through my children’s passion for windsurfing (something that I am not so good at), I discovered paddle boarding. One morning, in Greece on a family holiday, I woke up, grabbed a SUP board and never looked back, I was totally hooked!
So SUP Buddies began. A warm, inspirational SUP community that welcomes anybody who has a love for exploring & adventure whilst discovering new places to paddle.
Our Vision
To celebrate the great outdoors whilst inspiring exploration and adventure in all ages and abilities within our community. As users of the water, we understand the importance of minimising our impact on rivers, oceans and waterways. We hope to grow awareness of how we, as paddle boarders, can encourage positive change when on the water.
Meet our community…
Some members of our community are experienced paddle boarders, others are completely new to it, but all of us love spending time on or around the water. Our community is warm & welcoming, and we encourage all ages to join us to discover the same passion for exploration & adventure. We make sure everybody who joins our group feel welcome & confident, especially if it’s your first time on a paddle board.
