OUR MISSION AND VISION
Sea Lion Boards is focused on building a community of like-minded paddlers and adventurers, that together through our collective efforts can instil a sense of responsibility within the SUP community to protect the very environment we play within. We inspire adventure on water.
OUR STORY
We’ve paddled lakes, rivers and oceans, gone on multi-day and week-long adventures and during this time watched how other brands have been doing things within the industry. One thing became very clear - there needed to be a wholehearted change at the brand level as the industry itself didn't reflect the passion or the lifestyle it's paddlers carry. In 2017 we launched Sea Lion and have been tirelessly developing and innovating our paddle boards, paddles and accessories. We didn’t want to just produce high quality products designed for paddlers by paddlers, but also design and create the most sustainable paddle products on the planet that reflect this passion and love of the water environment. We shall always push to be the most innovating SUP brand and at no point will sustainability or quality be compromised at any level of the Sea Lion business.
WHY SEA LION
We at Sea Lion Boards don’t just love to paddle, we love the places we paddle. At the very heart of this brand lies a deep connection to these waterways and through our partnership with 1% for the Planet we are committed to donating a minimum of 1% to help organisations keep our oceans clean of plastic for all to enjoy. We are creating a Tribe of paddlers who like us want to adventure on water and protect the places we paddle.
Meet the tribe...

William MarshFounder/Head of Business Stuff
Fell in love with SUP after 2 decades of rugby became too much for his body. Years of egg chasing and shoulder injuries, SUP was the perfect rehab sport with a little less contact and tackling. Sea Lion has grown from his passion for sustainability and design. Some would say a perfectionist through and through.

Zak BenjaminCo-Founder/Head of Creative Stuff
The creative maestro (that loves Chelsea FC a bit too much). He is either scoring screamers, making bad beats or designing and creating stunning content. He is an artist on and off the pitch. Never hesitates to get on his Sea Lion whenever he's down in sunny Devon, to try and master the art of a good core/six pack - we're still waiting for that day to come.
