Eastbourne paddleboard company celebrates move to town centre location

Sussex Paddleboard Hire (SPH) used to run out of a garage in Westham with the basic function of people hiring paddleboards for the day.

Now a year on since it was created, the company is growing and has now moved its 'HQ' to Cadence Cycle Club opposite the Congress Theatre, right in the middle of town.

Dom Barrow, one of the founders, said, “We were based at my garage last year, a real covid start up!

"Myself, Louis and Chris are old friends and have a passion for paddleboarding. We were sat on a Zoom call one night in lockdown and decided to give it a go!

"Last summer was great, we hired out hundreds of boards from my garage base and loved the journey!

"We wanted to make things a little more professional this summer, so after a few meetings we’ve partnered up with Cadence Cycle Club Eastbourne.

"When we found out there was a chance to partner at their Eastbourne base, we jumped at the idea! We love their cool/chilled brand, it works well with our market. They’ve also got great coffee, toasties and E-bike hire, so it works well!”
