Building on the huge recreational growth of the sport, this event is designed as an opportunity to introduce first time and new paddlers to racing while also showcasing the top level distance and technical events and athletes.
The event reintroduces the much loved (and missed) one design racing, features SUP sprints in the stunning and sheltered harbour, as well as a platform for the exciting and entertaining SUP Polo.
The SUPER Championships also serve as a 'SUP Expo' with all leading SUP and accessory brands present, with experts and advice on hand whatever your level or need.
**And if you're coming from Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can enter for free**
With Brendon Prince and Sarah Thornely, we discuss this exciting opportunity for converting leisure paddlers towards different flavours of the sport, with the intention to build their current casual pastime into a lifelong commitment rather than a just post-covid fashion.
