WeSUP Paddleboard Centre

WeSup Paddle Boarding | Torquay Marina | Devon

After trying Paddle Boarding once or twice before, I jumped at the chance to have a lesson with WeSup, who have just opened WeSup Torquay, in addition to their Falmouth and Southampton centres.

We've not had anything quite like this in the Bay whilst I've lived here, so I was excited to give it a go and brought my brother and best mate along! I was first blown away by how they've transformed a much underused space into their super chic clubhouse and secondly how friendly the staff are.

The lesson took roughly an hour and we were in the very capable hands of Dom. He showed us the key strokes and features of the boards, before taking us to the water, inside Torquay Marina. After showing us the boundaries and making sure we were all set, we then enjoyed some free time practising on the boards.

When finished, we used the showers and grabbed an awesome cup of coffee to finish off a really fun morning.

We'll definitely be back for more. If you're interested, visit: to find out more and to book!

PaddleBoardLEDLights

I spent some time looking into different ways to add lights to the board. I decided that the lights underneath would look amazing, if we didn't paddle in predominantly murky waters. So this is what I came up with... Feedback welcomed!! Thanks....

Ilfracombe to Plymouth cycle ride 14th July 2018

Every year we carry out a challenge that will mentally and physically stretch us, this challenge is no easy feat. 

This year we are cycling coast to coast, Ilfracome to Plymouth, on and off road, we will be cycling 115 miles in a day, the time challenge is 13hrs. Those who have been to the Devon area will appreciate some of the inclines!! but what goes up must come down, the worst enroute is a 25% climb..... 

This year we are raising money for 2 worthy charities:
 
P.A.C.T for Autism, PACT supports autistic children, adults and families and people with other similar conditions through parent support services, activities, information, resources and by providing training to professionals.

Friends of Danesbury and Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital, The Friends exist to support the work of the National Health Services based at The Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital and the Danesbury Neurological Centre in Welwyn, Hertfordshire. Providing support and specialist therapy for patients having a wide range of debilitating conditions. 

We are very thankful for your ongoing support and look forward to sharing our journey on this challenge.
