About

Mega SUP’s are the most fun you can have out on the water as a group or family all together – whether its bombing around the bay, sunning yourselves while sitting or laying on the board or simply using it as a dive platform you will return with broad grins and jelly like legs!

Equipment is hired at regular intervals throughout the day during school holidays. Our team will provide you with a safety briefing of where and where not to go along with the basics of how to paddle - while we can't guarantee that you will stay dry you will have loads of fun.

To ensure safety there are restrictions with this activity, all our hire options are for one hour only and must stay within Carbis Bay, a minimum age of 10yrs and you must be able to swim. We want the best experience for you, while the weather is not always beach weather we will still operate, however, if we feel that the sea state is not appropriate we may have to reduce where you can paddle or reschedule for when conditions have improved; this maybe later that same day or the next.

Want to stay drier for longer and explore further than Carbis Bay? Then book onto either our SUPwise taster session or SUP Tour.
