Sandbanks SUP entered the SUP market in 2014 when they were faced with the stark realisation that either we had to spend £850 to buy a good quality paddleboard in a specialist shop, or we could get vastly inferior ones from around £250 in discount stores or the internet, all of which are more like beach toys than proper sports kit.

Disappointed that we could not find a great board at a reasonable price, we set out to build what we wanted and what we felt the industry needed.
