Charlie Grey
stand up paddle boarder (SUP) and all-round water and action sports enthusiast with a history in competitive sports. Charlie first started waterskiing at the age of two, progressing to tournament wake boarding aged 15 and taking part in the European Wakeboard Tour. After a major knee surgery at the age of 18 Charlie had to take 3 years out.
Charlie undeterred by this set back got back into tournament water skiing and competed at a high level on the UK tour at a high level. Charlie also started coaching at a top water ski club in the UK before developing an interest and a love for stand up paddle boarding (SUP).
Charlie has got a BA Hons Degree in Sports Technology, giving him a great insight into the design, technology and development of sports equipment, which inspired him to develop, and prototype a new SUP product. Charlie also works as gym instructor and Personal Trainer. He loves getting involved in sports where the natural elements play an important part, and traveling the world searching for the perfect wave.
Friday the 12th Charlie will be starting his Coast To Coast SUP challenge in aid of Cancer research. The route will see him travel along the Kennet and Avon canal starting from Weston Super Mare and finishing up in at the pier in Southend. Please go to the facebook page Stand Up Paddle Cost To Coast to find out more and support this incredibly important cause.

I live to be out on the water and be proactive in the out doors. I eat and breathe adrenaline sports, and if I’m not out on the water I like to be planning my next session or adventure, be it here or abroad.
My motto ‘every wave watched is a wave lost’. I’d rather be in or on the ocean than anywhere else in the world. I’m really passionate about promoting a healthy sporting lifestyle to everyone out there.
As well as Stand Up Paddle boarding, I also love to windsurf, slalom water-ski, wakeboard, surfing, mountain biking, mini mx, climbing, skating and running including half marathons. This lot generally keeps me busy; chill out time is with my friends and family and more recently, going down to Hove Lagoons new Wake boarding Cable Park.
