Passing the Paddle: A Fresh Start for Supstep 🏄‍♂️

As many of you know, we have been on a real journey with the Supstep self-rescue stirrup. After months of exclusive talks with a potential buyer that unfortunately didn't reach the finish line due to their own internal changes, Supstep is back with us.

While that waiting game was a lesson in itself, it has made one thing very clear: our hearts belong on the river at our SUP school and on our journey as foster parents. We have decided that rather than starting a long negotiation again, we want to find a passionate home for Supstep as quickly as possible so we can return our full focus to what we love.

The "Founder’s Handover" Opportunity:
We have invested over £15,000 into the design, branding, and development of this product. We are now looking for a straightforward, "complete as it stands" handover for £3,000.

What is included in the move?

The IP and Design: All final CAD files and 3D design work for our unique L-shaped safety stirrup.

The Brand: A full professional logo pack, visual identity, and brand guidelines.

The Reach: The Supstep.com domain, these social accounts, and our 300+ subscriber lead list.

The Blueprint: Our investor-ready business plan and manufacturing research.

This is a perfect "business-in-a-box" for someone in the industry or an ambitious entrepreneur who wants a massive head start on a product that makes paddleboarding safer for everyone.

Opportunity to Take Over Supstep

After a lot of reflection, we’ve decided it’s time to let Supstep go and focus fully on our core work with Wittering SUP and Wittering Wellbeing.

We still believe completely in the product and the value it offers to the paddleboarding community, it just deserves the time and energy we no longer have to give it.

We’re now looking for the right person, team, or brand to take it forward.

Prototypes and CAD files ready

Manufacturer lined up

Brand assets, social channels, and an engaged mailing list included

Ideal for a SUP school, outdoor brand, or someone looking for a new venture in the industry

If you're a passionate paddler or business looking to bring something meaningful to the market, get in touch. Email us at [email protected] and we’ll send over the info pack.

Let’s get this brilliant little product into the right hands.

Big news, Supstep community! We've decided to end our Kickstarter campaign early, and we want to share our heartfelt thanks to everyone who's supported us.

We now know that we need more awareness around Supstep before our next big push. So, we're taking this as a chance to regroup, build our community, and come back stronger – aiming to re-launch in the spring.

Just a gentle reminder – since we didn't reach our funding goal, no money will be taken from any of your accounts, in case this was a concern.

If you'd like to be part of our journey, please share Supstep with anyone who might love it as much as we do. We truly believe that when the time is right, we'll get there together.

Thank you all for being on this ride with us – we're just getting started.

Lots of love, James & Alex ###
