From 24 – 28 June 2026, the stunning waters of the English Riviera will come alive with the Paddle UK SUPER Festival and the ICF SUP World Cup.
Torbay has become a go-to spot for Stand Up Paddleboarding in England.
The five-day event is expected to attract around 200 of the world’ s best athletes, as well as up to a thousand other paddlers who will take part in a festival of paddling that will showcase the breadth of SUP from recreational paddlers to elite competition.
Set against the turquoise waters and sheltered bays of Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham, this celebration of stand-up paddleboarding brings together elite athletes, community paddlers, and newcomers ready to try something new.
For the first time, the International Canoe Federation( ICF) will host a SUP World Cup of this scale in the UK, presenting a unique opportunity to welcome the paddleboard community to showcase world-class racing and invite more people onto the water.
We have something for everyone at the SUPER Festival and World Cup, featuring sprint, technical, and distance races, all offering opportunities to compete in the ICF World Cup medal events or in festival formats.
Brendon Prince, Event Director, said,“ We are thrilled to welcome the world of paddleboarding to the English Riviera in 2026. 40
“ This will be a truly unique moment, a chance for our community to host the very best athletes on the planet while also inspiring thousands of people to pick up a paddle and enjoy our incredible coastline.
“ The SUPER Festival and World Cup will showcase not just world-class racing but the joy and inclusivity of SUP for everyone.”
