Standup Paddleboarding (SUP) is an incredibly versatile sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels. It is a great way to exercise, explore waterways and stay connected to nature. It can also be a fast and exciting sport as SUP surfers take on the waves across our beaches. Some of the biggest benefits of SUP include the fact that it is a relatively easy sport to learn, it is safe for beginners and has a low impact on the environment. Visit any of our 41 beaches across our 90 km of coastline or any of our vast waterways from Brisbane Water to Lake Macquarie and you will find Standup Paddleboard riders enjoying themselves everywhere. The Central Coast SUP Club (CCSUPC) is the only registered association of its kind on the Central Coast of New South Wales. Started in 2023 with the aim of becoming a respected, community-minded, socially conscious not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving members across the Central Coast region by bringing community together, providing an inclusive, friendly, and positive social aspect, holding events like no other on the Central Coast both competitive and fun all while promoting healthy lifestyle and improving people’s lives. In addition to providing traditional surfing association-related events and activities, the Central Coast SUP Club has plans to get involved in community work such as beach cleanups and dune regeneration as well as conduct programs for indigenous groups, as well as disability and disadvantaged groups. To be able to provide an association such as this requires a financially strong, well-resourced and growing club. There is an ongoing requirement to purchase, maintain and replace equipment as well as hosting competitive and social events for the benefit of club members.
