From 24–28 June 2026, the English Riviera will come alive with the Paddle UK SUPER Festival and the ICF SUP World Cup.
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 paddle boarding 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, with sprint, technical and distance races all including opportunities to compete in the ICF World Cup medal events or in festival formats.
There’s also a range of other activities for paddleboarders of all abilities to get involved with across the weekend.
The SUP World Cup event will be supported by the English Riviera Business Improvement District (BID) Company and Torbay Council, alongside local and regional businesses.
Brendon Prince, Event Director said:
“We are thrilled to welcome the world of paddleboarding to the English Riviera in 2026.
“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.”
