The Sup Co

Located in the Schneider Hangar, The SUP Co x Calshot focuses on wing surfing and foiling. You can try out the latest equipment from leading brands and take lessons and activities at the largest wing and foil test centre in the UK.

The SUP Co x Calshot is ideally situated for water sports, providing conditions suitable for all wind directions (even northerly winds - a rare place indeed on the south coast). The sheltered tidal lagoon on the northern side is perfect for beginners, while the southern seaward side offers more challenging conditions for advanced users.

In addition to wingsurfing and wing foiling, The SUP Co x Calshot offers paddleboard hire and lessons, coastal tours, weekly social events and larger demo days throughout the year. The SUP Co x Calshot is committed to guiding newcomers through their journey from novices to fully independent wing foilers and paddleboarders.

Onsite location

The SUP Co can be found in the Schneider Hangar, so head to the Calshot Activities Centre car park. The shop entrance is on the left of the hangar.
