SUP Sennen to Torquay · 31 August 2020

Above Water is the water education & safety charity that sends teachers who are qualified lifeguards into schools to teach and promote adventurous water activity, provide water safety education, teach drowning prevention techniques and aquatic first aid. Teachers who are trained open water lifeguards understand the professionalism required to visit a school and they have exceptional subject knowledge to be flexible to the needs of the school. It is totally FREE for a school to book a visit by Above Water. Lifeguards deliver whole school assemblies, single lessons, all day activities, after school parent water safety awareness & first aid and much, much more!

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  My name is Brendon Prince and I have been stand up paddle boarding since 2008, enjoying SUP adventures, SUP surf and instructing SUP.  I am undertaking a non-stop stand up paddle from Sennen to Torquay to raise much needed awareness for SUP Safety and donations to support the charity Above Water.  Above Water is the water safety through education charity.  They have focused on SUP safety for 2020/21 through their SUP Safety Week.  They are trying to raise £10,000 to fund a FREE online interactive educational tutorial for those new to SUP to learn & understand SUP safety.

The challenge will start in September and I will take with me everything I need to complete the 250/300km distance.  The only time I will land is to sleep on the beach and collect water.

Throughout the challenge I will be posting messages to raise awareness for SUP safety and offer advice, tips to help you stay safe on your own SUP.  If you are a competent Stand Up Paddle boarder why not come and paddle with me for some of the way? Contact me via Brendon@abovewater.org for more information.
