As the sun crept over the city on the longest day, we hit the water for our annual Summer Solstice paddleboarding session. Those brave enough to set an early alarm were rewarded with calm water, golden light, and the most peaceful start to the day you can imagine.
Paddling through Bristol Harbour at sunrise is something truly special – the reflections, the quiet, the sense of the city slowly waking up around you. It’s one of our favourite traditions at SUP Bristol, and a brilliant reminder of why we love paddleboarding in Bristol so much.
Always up with the lark, Bristol24/7 photographer Rob Browne joined us on dry land to capture the magic of the morning. His stunning shots show the harbour at its best – boards gliding across the glassy water and smiles all round.
If you’re looking for unique activities in Bristol, group adventures, or just a new way to enjoy the city, why not join us on the water? From sunrise sessions to sunset socials, SUP Bristol runs paddleboarding and kayaking lessons and group paddles throughout the year.
