The Mega SUP is a deliberate exercise in togetherness: an 18‑foot, 5‑foot‑wide board built to carry a whole crew as you paddle in unison. It’s designed for groups who want a social, fitness‑tinged outing that keeps safety simple — paddles and buoyancy aids are provided with every hire, and the activity is paced for teamwork rather than speed.

Flexible hire windows

Choose from short one‑hour sessions up to full‑day hires to suit an afternoon meet‑up or a longer outing with friends.

THE SAFETY

Gear included for every paddler

Rates include the board, paddles and a high‑quality buoyancy aid for each person; small extras such as waterproof phone cases, glasses straps and dry bags are available for the group to borrow.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

This is less about carving turns and more about synchrony: a convivial paddle where success depends on timing, communication and everyone pulling in the same direction. The pace is social and communal, and the result is equal parts laughter, light exertion and the satisfaction of moving a large craft as one.
