Our Story

The early days, before the club

JOIN THE STOKE OF THE FASTEST GROWING WATER SPORT IN THE WORLD

It all began in early 2012 with a few Brisbanites who were passionate about improving their fitness through stand up paddling. By 2013 as interest in the sport grew rapidly in the area, these enthusiastic individuals decided to form a club. In as little as four months, BrisSUP Club had grown to over 50 members and had 270 friends on Facebook. As we enter 2020, the numbers continued to increase to over 170 members and 2.2K Facebook members!

BrisSUP Club is a friendly bunch of like-minded people who enjoy taking to the water in many of the beautiful estuaries, lakes, inlets, bays and creeks that Brisbane has to offer.

Join us on our regular social paddles for a fun, family day out. Anyone of any age and skill level can attend. Our social paddles generally include a scenic paddle, followed by  an opportunity to socialise with other members. 

Whether you’re a novice or have been paddling for some time, we offer something for everyone. Which is why we also host a race series for those wanting to challenge themselves and advance their skills and technique in a supportive environment.  Our Flagship race the Coochie Classic has world ranking recognition.

We urge you to come along and join the stoke of what is becoming the fastest growing water sport in the world. It’s easier than it looks … try it and see!
