Adventure Challenges Sponsorship
SUP mini adventures- UK All year
Brendon is an internationally recognised adventure paddler and he will be taking a 'mini adventure' by Stand Up Paddle Board every month through 2024. The paddles will showcase a variety of conditions and locations around the UK. These mini adventures are to promote blue space for adventures and men’s mental health. The format is simply, one or two nights sleeping wild on beaches or the board, having paddled stunning waters to reach a remote location.
Who would benefit from sponsoring these mini adventures?
Brands who want adventure exposure for product and would benefit from aligning with Brendon’s adventures in the wilds and coastal environments of UK waters.
Engagement would be repeated monthly throughout the year and sponsors can influence locations and style of adventure to benefit their product and or brand.
Celtic Crossing- Lands’ End to Isles of Scilly...RETURN
In a weather & conditions window between May and September, Brendon will paddle from Sennen to the Isles of Scilly on one tide, then turn around and paddle back on the next. The entire journey will be one of over 100km in two tides, a return journey never achieved on a stand up paddle board.

ENGLISH CHANNEL CROSSING- Channel Islands to TorBay
To highlight the tragic fact that on average over 250 people drown in the UK every year, Brendon wanted to paddle a 250km crossing. The English Channel Islands to TorBay is approximately this distance. Having spent 8 days and 4 mins 'living' on a paddle board in 2023, Brendon has been preparing himself for a multi-day/night crossing and SUP paddling from The Channel Islands to TorBay, England is the challenge. There are massive considerations when undertaking such a paddle, the tide, conditions, weather, food, sleep, marine traffic are just a few. Brendon will demonstrate how meticulous planning, preparation, fitness and the right kit will facilitate a world first crossing of this distance.
