Our Story
Wesup is a pure manifestation of Sean’s very first paddling experience at a time when only a handful of humans had seen a paddle board in the UK. That first glide had Sean intensely inspired and he knew he had to find a way to make paddle boarding his life.
With twin daughters just 6 months from birth and the need to move from London back to Cornwall, he had two very pertinent choices to make… Live for someone else’s dreams in his world as a band manager, or simply live for his own. Never afraid to risk it all, he made the call and in 2010, the UK’s first dedicated stand up paddle board centre was open for business!
It’s very rare to be first at anything in this world but this opportunity was ours. With a strong desire to innovate and lead the market, Wesup set it’s standard sky high and established it’s primary mission – To passionately define the exciting culture of stand up paddle boarding & modern coastal lifestyle for the communities where Wesup exists.
We’d never imagine stand up paddle boarding would go on to become the fastest growing water sport of all time, but as the business grew and Harry joined as co-partner, Wesup has become a famous social hub where friends connect, adventures are sought and amazing stories are made.
We can’t wait to paddle with you!
