You won’t find better for less!! Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) is a great way to have fun on the water for people of all age’s, ability and size. Unlike other water sports that take years to master and are dependent on certain conditions, SUPing can be enjoyed with a minimum of gear and effort and can be enjoyed all year round. You can SUP in the Sea, lakes and rivers—no waves required but are fun
to play on. SUPing gives a full body workout so not only is this soothing for the soul you are also burning calories…bonus! The idea behind Neptune SUPs was simple; create a brand, make great quality boards and paddles, lose the massive mark-ups, get more people on the water. Based on the south coast of the UK the sea has always been a part of our lives. Coming from a Skateboarding, Surfing, Windsurfing & Snowboarding background from way back in the day, we have seen the SUP market grow over the last few years and explode in 2020. Back in the beginning It amazed us at how expensive it was, up to £3,500 for a board £700 for a Paddle, with no options for less that was of any quality. That’s what got us thinking (or opened up a can of worms, depends of which of us you speak to). So after long talks of what’s important in choosing a SUP we came down to 3 major areas:
1. Quality of the construction
2. Design (oh how vain we still are)
3. Prices
What came next was a mission to fulfill all the above and bring it to market, in the most environmentally friendly way possible. This led us on a quest to find the best manufacturer that would work with us on creating the shapes/style of what we now have. The factory that we are using have been in the game for over 20 years, making high quality surfboards and SUP boards and Paddles for over 10 years (and for some of the big boys too, but we cant mention names). The quality of our construction and attention to detail has really been one of the key ingredients to our success. As with any new sport, change and innovation is inevitable and we want to grow with the sport and become one of the market leaders and innovators. We have proven this with the launch in the summer of 2013 with our Mach #1 Range, which had been really popular, received great reviews and taught us a lot and led to our Mach #2 range. We also added a WindSUP, Yoga SUP, full carbon Race Board and in 2020 we launched our pro kit the Trident series to add to our existing range and will never stop with our R&D. Neptune SUPs is aware that all this manufacturing does have an effect on the environment, so we have taken steps to become one of the only SUP Board makers worldwide that is Carbon Balanced (and one of, if not the first brand to do so).
