About The SUP Company

Founded in January 2015, The SUP Company has grown to become one of Europe’s leading specialist watersports retailers, with a focus on paddleboarding, wingsurfing, foiling and time well spent on the water.

From inflatable paddleboards and hardboards across multiple paddling disciplines to premium wingfoiling, efoils, foil assist systems and specialist foiling equipment, we offer expert advice, carefully selected products and one of the most comprehensive watersports ranges in the UK.

Two Specialist Waterside Demo Centres

The SUP Company x Woodmill in Southampton is home to one of the UK’s largest paddleboard test centres, giving customers the chance to try a wide range of inflatable and hard paddleboards before they buy.

The SUP Company x Lymington is our specialist wingsurfing, foiling and electric watersports destination, offering an impressive demo selection just steps from the water.

Together, our Woodmill and Lymington demo centres allow customers to compare equipment properly, get expert advice from real watersports specialists and make a more confident choice before investing in new kit.
