Our Story

SUP Pups

SUP Pups has been teaching pups how to SUP since 2014 in Liberty Station Point Loma! This all women, small business started all because of a rescue dog named Jack from Arizona. Samantha, the owner and founder of Sup Pups moved out to San Diego to give her pup the best life near the water. After getting on a paddle board, she realized all the benefits that came with it mentally and physically to the owner but also for dogs! Together they wanted to share with others in a way to help them, build their confidence and have a safe adventure out on the water together.

Since then, Sup Pups has now taught thousands of owners how to safely get on a paddle board together without forcing the dogs, no matter their fears, size, or disabilities. They also started to host fundraisers to help raise money for dog charities and rescues as well as even taking out dogs that are up for adoption to help share their story and capture who they really are.

SUP Pups has built such an amazing community and they absolutely love helping others fall in love with the sport with their dog.

Testimonials

What an awesome experience!!!! Paddle boarding with my high energy pup was challenging, but we did it! Sam is AmAZinG at what she does. I’m so glad that I went to her for a lesson, because there is no way that I would have successfully done this with my pup on my own! She was so great with Ozzy and we had so much FUN. We’ll definitely be doing it again soon!
