Waterborn is a community-focused paddleboarding centre in Kingsbridge, offering ways for people of different ages and abilities to enjoy the South Hams waterways. Now operating as Waterborn Hub CIC, a not-for-profit company, it combines outdoor activities with community projects supporting access to the outdoors and physical and mental wellbeing.

Its qualified instructors provide paddleboarding lessons for beginners and more experienced paddlers, with tuition designed to build confidence and skills. Visitors can join scenic SUP tours, hire paddleboards and equipment, or book tandem kayaks. Group sessions are available for occasions such as team-building events, stag and hen groups, while regular club paddles offer a social way to explore the area. Waterborn also runs SUP yoga and a junior club for young paddlers.

The centre describes its location as sheltered and well suited to learning, and it is the UK’s only Red Paddle Co. Centre of Excellence. Waterborn also hosts SUP the Creek, a paddleboarding event, and invites supporters to help its community work through participation and fundraising.
