Who are we?

SUP Watersports is a mobile watersports centre based in the heart of the Lake District. We offer sessions to suit all levels, ages and abilities at a range of locations to cater to all. SUP was first started when Covid redundancy gave Calum the catalyst to pursue a dream that has been in the pipeline since he first started working in the outdoor industry.

Our fully qualified and passionate Paddleboard instructors and guides have many years of experience in the watersports industry, they also spend much of their personal time on the water in a variety of ways!

Offering bespoke sessions to each group means every experience we run is different and uniquely tailored, and everyone gets the most possible out of a session.

If you would like to get out and enjoy the worlds fastest growing Watersport then contact us to get on board!

CALUM

Having spent most of his life around water, Calum has more local knowledge and experience than most people, some many years his senior! Having instructed since the moment he left school he has built up and impressive portfolio of qualifications both in his home, the Lake District, and abroad. In his personal time you can’t keep him out the water. Not only is he an incredible wakeboarder he is also a keen kitesurfer and surfer. However when it comes to the Lake District he loves nothing more than a paddleboard adventure. Just don’t get him talking about any of the sports over a beer, unless you’re planning to be there for a while!

DUSTY

The newest and cutest member of our team! What dusty lacks in qualifications he more than makes up for in energy and enthusiasm. He loves the water and any other lake district adventure that he ends up on. You will usually find him chasing leaves and shadows along the lake shore!
