About LakeSUP
LakeSUP is a specialist stand-up paddleboard and kayak hire operation based on the southern shores of Lake Windermere at Newby Bridge. Operating from the YMCA Lakeside site, they provide easy access to one of the quieter stretches of England's longest lake, away from the busier Bowness and Ambleside shorelines. Their seasonal operation runs from late March through September, catering to visitors and locals alike.
Equipment available includes premium stand-up paddleboards, single sit-on-top kayaks, and double sit-on-top kayaks, all with buoyancy aids and paddles included. Hire periods are flexible, ranging from one-hour tasters to full-day rentals. They also offer guided SUP tours along the Windermere shoreline and introductory lessons for complete beginners, led by qualified instructors who know the lake's conditions intimately.
LakeSUP's location at the quiet southern end of Windermere is their biggest draw — paddlers enjoy calm, sheltered waters with stunning mountain views and minimal boat traffic. Ample free parking on site makes logistics easy, and their friendly team ensures even first-timers feel confident on the water within minutes. Online booking guarantees availability on busy summer days.
