About South West SUP
South West SUP is a Plymouth-based stand-up paddleboarding provider offering guided sessions, equipment hire, and specialist events around Firestone Bay, Royal William Yard, Stonehouse Marina and Plymouth Sound. The business runs a mix of structured experiences — including family sessions, social paddles, hire slots, bespoke coaching and themed tours — designed for a broad range of ages and abilities.
Instruction and safety are central to the offering. Sessions are led by experienced instructors who provide technique coaching, safety briefings and supervision; buoyancy aids and leashes are provided for hire sessions where stated. Group sizes are kept small for focused coaching and to ensure clear supervision during family, junior and social paddles. The Summer Holiday SUP Club is specifically aimed at children aged 9 and up, combining daily skills coaching, small group teaching and snacks over a five-day program.
Special events include a Seafest SUP History Tour exploring Plymouth Sound and the Royal William Yard, and a Night Paddle for viewing the British Fireworks Championships from the water. The business also offers a 1.5-hour SUP hire for confident paddlers looking to explore independently and a Bespoke SUP Session for tailored coaching and safety guidance. All trip descriptions clearly state suitability, duration and any required prior experience so paddlers can choose the right session for their skill level.
