SFA is a not for profit community motivated to introduce all people to SUP in the belief that it will improve our community and the lives of those people who live within it. We believe SUP has a social function within our society.
SUP FOR ALLA wAy OF LiFe OR ‘A MOveMent’
Stand Up Paddling is a mode of transport for the water that anybody can easily do, SUP is the bicycle of the water. Participants stand on a ‘board’ and use a single bladed paddle to propel themselves through the water.

Our location is on Trawane Bay, adjacent to the Lake Isle of Innisfree where the sounds infect the heart and peace invades the mind. There is a magic at Trawane Bay which re-connects people to nature and taps primal instincts amongst visitors.

We have attracted SUP tourists from all over the world. People come to Sligo to paddle the River Bonet and discover Lough Gill with their families and friends. They decide to travel knowing that all required equipment is here for them within one of the most vibrant paddling communities anywhere.

The growth of SUP is unprecedented. It is our experience that the vast majority of people we introduce to SUP wish to experience it again. They tell EVERYBODY. They want to share the ‘stoke’ with their friends and family.
