English Riviera SUP Championships
A massive step to bring INTERNATIONAL SUP competition to UK waters!
28th/29th September 2024, Torbay will host the first SUP championships as part of a 4 year plan to bring international level competition to this spectacular South Devon Resort. The crystal waters and stunning scenery of this world renowned GeoPark was once home to Agatha Christies and the inspiration for Indiana Jones. Today it is one of the UK's premier coastal resorts with palms trees and warm waters which helped give Torbay the name of English Riviera.
This two day event will include a festival of stand up paddle board races, activities, demonstrations and presentations. Focusing on bringing the joy of SUP to families through to elite athletes, the Torbay SUP Championships will take SUP in the UK to a whole new level of 'blue space' activity.

SPONSORSHIP
The TorBay SUP Championships are the start of a 4 year plan to make sports tourism work for our Bay and bring a world championship to our beaches. An event of this level will create more visitors, spending more money, for more days of the year! We know that similar championships in the UK show staggering returns, averaging £77 for every £1 invested. The economic advantages are obvious, but we would also reap benefits for our Bays reputation, society and environment.
