Really helpful honest company.I spoke to Ben for advice about the types of Gladiator SUPs. Ben was super helpful, patiently explaining to me the important considerations in buying and using a SUP. No hard sale whatsoever, just honest information, more beneficial than 6 hours of painful Google research🫠I hope to buy a SUP from Drift Board Sports once the new stock arrives. Highly recommended.

shark/Allstar, board demo day

We attended the board demo day at Newark after R2TC and found the race board's that suited us the best, I have been out on my shark a few times now and love it and my partner's Allstar is her board of choice now too, thank you Ben.

Fantastic advice from Ben

Fantastic advice from Ben. The opportunity to trial a board helped in the process of making the right decision for me.
New board delivered in a day or so and have already given it its maiden voyage and thanks to Ben it’s exactly what I was after.
Could not recommend Drift Boardsports enough if you’re looking for new kit.

Black Project Paddle

I have made quite a few purchases from Ben at Drift Boardsports and every one has been excellent. Ben's knowledge and customer care is outstanding which has helped guide me through my purchases, latest being a Black Project Paddle. I was suffering with shoulder pain every time I paddled so Ben suggested trying a more suitable paddle. After trying numerous types that he allowed me to demo I settled on the B P Synery X. I haven't suffered since. So pleased, thank you. Great service.

Excellent service

I have purchased several items from Ben. Boards, paddles and clothing. He has a wealth of experience and is never pushy for a sale. Goes that extra mile to ensure the customer gets what is right for them 👍🤙

Excellent Local Company

I have been buying equipment from Ben at Drift Boardsports pretty much since I started SUPing. He has plenty of boards to try and sells quality gear and competively priced.
Ben is very knowledgeable and actually uses the gear he sells, so knows what he is talking about.
If you want honest advice and expert information, you won't find better.

Great customer service and fantastic products

I’ve bought several products from Drift Board Sports over time, and every experience has been spot on. The quality of the gear has always delivered, whether it’s for training or racing, and it’s clear they only stock products that genuinely perform.

What really sets them apart is the owner a local paddler with a huge amount of real-world experience. It’s not just sales advice; it’s honest, practical guidance from someone who actually uses the equipment in all conditions. He takes the time to understand what you need and helps you choose the right setup, so you can feel confident you’re making the best decision.

It’s great to support a business that’s so connected to the paddling community and genuinely cares about helping people get the most out of their time on the water.

Great service, Competetive pricing & Product knowledge!

Purchased a Gladiator board from Drift Boardsports after taking advice from Ben on the most appropriate size for me & it's expected use.
Have been back for various items of Rooster clothing & most recently a superb shark 3 electric SUP pump.
Would highly recommend Drift for Ben's knowledge of the products he sells. Competetive pricing helps too!

I always get excellent advice from Ben…

I always get excellent advice from Ben @Driftboardsports. He has helped me get set up as a starter paddleboarder and then onto buying my first race board. The equipment he sells is first class and of excellent quality. He is very knowledgable and is keen to ensure you get what is right for you no matter what stage you are at on your sup journey.

Excellent

Excellent. Bought 2 paddle boards which are superb for me and my skill level and will work well as I improve. Ben took so much care to ensure the boards were right for me. Bought fabulous clothing too - again with expert advice from Ben to ensure I have right clothing for conditions. Great prices and prompt delivery. Very highly recommended and wouldn’t buy from anywhere else
