Waterborn Hub CIC

Slightly different weather than we had for SUP The Creek but it was good to get out and practice our AquaPaddle 5km course today on my Neptune SUPs 14 x 23 raceboard. We have just 2 more AquaPaddle UK events left for 2026, on 1st and 29th November, we'd love to have you join us, on which ever paddlecraft you use.

See you on the water!

If you are not part of our mailing list (don't worry we don't post too many a year!) then you might have missed some of the finer details of our 1 year as a CIC, you can catch up here:

One year as a Community Interest Company. Fifteen years of passion for paddleboarding. And a whole community making it possible.

ONE YEAR OF WATERBORN HUB CIC!
We're blowing our own trumpet today... but just a little!

Today marks one year since Waterborn officially registered as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company!

Although our journey began back in 2011 as Kingsbridge Estuary Stand Up Paddlesurf (KESUP), becoming a CIC was an important step towards something we've always believed in: making the water accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, ability or circumstances.

And what a first year it's been!

From welcoming new faces onto the water and helping people build confidence, friendships and fitness, to delivering funded community projects, supporting young people, promoting water safety and bringing everyone together through events like SUP The Creek, it's been an incredibly rewarding twelve months.

We've seen first-time paddlers discover a new passion, young people develop their skills, and people of all ages find enjoyment, confidence and connection on our beautiful Estuary.

But none of this happens without the people around us.

To everyone who's joined us on the water, supported our projects, volunteered their time, worked alongside us, provided funding or simply helped spread the word — THANK YOU!

Our community has always been at the heart of Waterborn. Becoming a CIC has given us the opportunity to build on those foundations and create even more opportunities for people to benefit from being active outdoors.

One year down, and plenty more adventures ahead!

Here's to another year of making waves, building connections and creating opportunities for our community.

See you on the water!

Don't forget to bring your £10 deposit to registration to exchange for your lovely bib, you will be reinstated with it at the end of the day once you return your bib.

See you on the water!

Sad news for the GB SUP series with the cancellation of their event. There are only so many people around the country that enter SUP events and having SUP The Creek clash with another event was not a decision we wanted in the first place (tide/daylight restrictions)

In light of their cancellation we have opened up spaces for 24 hours to SUP The Creek so their paddlers can still get on the water and race this weekend.

I would also like to offer the opportunity for GB SUP to join us and use the results to finish their series with us here in Devon if that is of interest, you are most welcome as always.

If you would like to join us head to: https://www.webscorer.com/registerseries?pid=1&seriesid=449547

Can we also use this as a small paddler warning too, events take so much time to setup and incur lots of costs, so signing up in plenty of time means these things can go ahead in the first place.

See you on the water!
