About Dave

Hi, my name is Dave Brown and I run SUP Antics. I bought my first paddle board during the first lockdown in 2020. I live in Eaglescliffe in the North East of the UK and I am super lucky to live only 10 minutes walk from the River Tees. There’s definitely something special about paddle boarding and you'll not be surprised to find that I spend many hours down on the river. I am a qualified Paddle UK SUP Coach (sheltered water), SUP Open Water Leader and Paddlesport Leader.

Prior to SUP, my outdoor passions have been dingy racing, windsurfing, mountain biking, fell walking with my partner Mags and mountaineering. I have been lucky enough to climb in some great places in the UK, the French and Swiss Alps, the Atlas mountains in Morocco, frozen waterfalls in Norway and 6000m peaks in Nepal.
