We are delighted to announce that all new and existing BSUPA members have access to Surf England SUP membership at a heavily discounted rate. Part of this additional membership is a license to access some of the UK’s most beautiful inland waterways belonging to the Canal and River Trust.
Surf England SUP Membership Discount
Via our Justgo subscription system you can now access your Surf England SUP membership for only £15. This membership entitles you to a whole host of benefits on top of your existing BSUPA benefits including:
- A license to access the Canal & Rivers Trust canal & river network of over 2,000 miles of canals and rivers across England & Wales. This means that you can carry the license on your person and access previously unavailable locations and open the door to even more water based adventures.
- A Surf England digital membership card
- Surf England liability insurance
- Be a part of and support the Surf England campaign groups for environmental protection across the UK and locally.
- As a Surf England member you also have access to the various available SUPevents.
- You can join the Surf England community and have access to resources that will support the development of your SUP skills.

The Newly Accessible Canal & River Network
We are massively excited that the extensive list of waterways are now open to paddleboarding and SUP for only £15. This brings with it a whole new opportunity for adventure on the UK’s waterways which is particularly beneficial to anyone living inland where easy access to the coastline is prohibited by distance. And if you haven’t already paddleboarded on these waterways it will bring with it a whole new experience for you. Imagine taking a family trip or a trip with friends down river or canal for a day out or camping adventure.
Remember when paddling on these waterways you must carry proof of your license at all times.
