Building The Sup Surf Championships

The success of these Championship’s over the past decade could not have been achieved without the support and commitment shown from our hosts, Extreme Academy, Watergate Bay Hotel. Situated on Cornwall’s North coast, Watergate Bay with its golden sands and natural amphitheater shaped bay is the perfect location for a sup surf championship of this nature.

What is SUP Surfing & how is it judged?

SUP Surfboards, although similar in shape to a traditional surfboard, are larger and more buoyant. The SUP surfer uses a single bladed paddle to propel themselves through the water or on to a wave whilst standing up on the board.

Within the competition the competitor should show good overall surfing skills and be seen to use the paddle in three key ways to gain greater points. These are: Brace, Pivot & Force Multiplier to achieve more sharper and powerful turns.
