Bring the whole family together for a unique day on the water with the Family Super SUP. This oversized paddleboard is built for fun, laughter, and teamwork, making it a brilliant choice for kids and adults alike. From paddling past caves and spotting wildlife to silly games on board, this activity promises excitement for every age group.
Your experience starts at the centre, where you’ll be fitted with wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets and paddles in heated changing rooms. After a safety briefing tailored to your family, the group will head down a rocky path to one of Newquay’s coves, where the Super SUP will be waiting. The guides take things at a comfortable pace, making sure even the youngest members of the family feel secure before setting off.
Once on the water, you’ll paddle together as a team under the guidance of an instructor. The tour will take you along the coastline, past caves, tunnels, and cliffs that are home to seabirds and other marine life. Halfway through, the group will pause to play games designed for all ages – from SUP races to “King of the SUP” – before working together to paddle back towards shore. It’s the ideal mix of learning, adventure, and laughter, with something for everyone to enjoy.
The session takes place around Newquay Bay, an area full of sheltered coves, striking cliffs, and secret caves. It’s a place rich in pirate history and folklore, and your instructors will share some of these stories along the way. Families often see crabs, seals, and seabirds during the tour, with the occasional chance of spotting dolphins.
Newquay’s coastline is particularly suited to family groups thanks to its variety of calm bays and accessible launching points. Depending on tides and weather, instructors select the best spot to make sure conditions are safe and enjoyable.
This activity is designed for all skill levels, so no paddleboarding experience is required. Children as young as three can take part, as the pace and games are adjusted to suit the group.
All participants should be comfortable around water, and adults must accompany younger children. Instructors are skilled at working with families and will ensure everyone feels safe and supported.
This family-focused session combines safety, fun, and education. Instructors are experienced in teaching children and adults together, with a focus on building teamwork and confidence on the water. Alongside the excitement of games and paddling, kids are introduced to ocean safety and local wildlife in an engaging way.
After the activity, you’ll have access to heated changing rooms, hot showers, and secure storage. Free action photography means you’ll also leave with memories to share, and discount cards for local cafés and shops add a finishing touch to the day.
