About The SUP Store

BUILT FROM THE WATER UP

We’re a team of paddlers, shapers, and board builders who’ve spent more time on the water — and fixing what breaks — than most.

The SUP Store started with a simple idea: offer the kind of gear we actually trust. The boards we ride, the paddles we use, the robes we live in after every session. No gimmicks. No hype. Just good kit that works.

OUR STORY

Back in 2012, our founder began repairing and shaping boards in a small workshop on the south coast. What started as late nights with resin and sandpaper turned into something much bigger — a growing community of paddlers who wanted honest gear and good advice.

Today, we’re still here on the water in Christchurch, Dorset, surrounded by tide, salt, and a few too many boards. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly where we belong.

WHAT WE DO

We stock and test boards, paddles, robes, accessories & teach wthat we genuinely believe in — gear that’s built to last and perform in real conditions. Everything we sell has been tried and tested by us or our community.

If it doesn’t stand up, it doesn’t stay in the lineup.

OUR COMMUNITY

For us, The SUP Store has always been more than just a shop.

It’s a place for paddlers to connect — to share stories, try new kit, and spend time on the water.

We run demos, group paddles, and events all year round, and if you’re ever nearby, you’ll always find someone to talk tides and tailwinds with.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Honesty. No hard sell, just real advice.
Experience. Building and repairing boards since 2012.
Community. Local, welcoming, and open to everyone.
Quality gear. Tried, tested, and trusted by paddlers.

“It’s not glamorous, but it’s real — and it’s built from the water up.”
