BSUPA organise our own events (e.g. National Surf Championships, National Race Championships) and help others to organise and run their events (e.g. SUP Armada, H2O Demo). Since 2008 we have been running -SUP National Championships in flat water and in surf. These events now act as a qualifying option for TEAM GB, sanctioned by SURFING GB. Rich Marsh who has managed the Watergate events also runs a combined kite and SUP Legend of the Bay. Marc Hambidge has now joined him to coordinate future events.
BSUPA have been involved with river festivals, outdoor shows and Ladies invitational at Southampton boat show.
We also work with other organisations to promote their events as appropriate (Paddle Round the Pier, SUP Bike Run, Head of the Dart) via our website and social media. BSUPA are keen to support events that appeal to Paddleboarders of all types.
