The increasing popularity of stand-up paddleboarding has led to a huge growth in the paddleboard market – which has in turn created a wide variety of business opportunities. Including SUP as an addition to an existing operation, like an outdoor centre or hotel, is a great way of diversifying and broadening your appeal. Or maybe you’re keen to launch a standalone SUP school?

Either way – whether you currently run a business or would like to start new one – if you have any questions you’d like answering, please get in touch via the contact form below.
