About us
Australia's Biggest SUP Specialists
Stand Up Surf Shop was born out of passion. Founder Mike Galvin had always loved his water sports, and once he discovered stand up paddle boarding, he was hooked. Mike wanted a good excuse to immerse himself in the sport and share the stoke. So he set up the first shop to focus solely on SUP’s in WA. And he surrounded himself with a ‘family’ that are just as passionate about the sport as himself.
Expert Advice
Our staff have incredible experience at stand up paddling. Some compete in SUP comps and some even design SUP boards.

With over 200 SUP boards to choose from, you only need to visit one store to find your perfect board.
Free Demos
We have over 30 SUP boards to demo and try for free. This includes all rounders, beginner, surf, inflatable, women and kids boards.
Stand Up Surf Shop - Since 2009
After a careful start at the back of Windshack (a windsurfing shop) in 2009, Stand Up Surf Shop moved to its current location five years later. The shop was 3 x the size of the original shop and enabled us to have 200+ SUP boards in stock.
Meet the team
Every single one of our staff is carefully selected for their knowledge, expertise and love of stand up paddle boarding. When we’re not in the shop, you’ll find us on the water.
Owner
Mike 'Galvo' Galvin
Galvo started the shop 15 years ago and is still as amped about the sport as a frothing grommet. You’re more like to find him on the water than in the shop!
Chief Frother (Manager)
David 'Sewelly' Sewell
Sewelly has been in the SUP industry for a long time and is a co-owner in our sister store Surfland Scarborough. He fancies himself as a big wave SUP surfer but he has no photographic evidence to prove it…
He is also a genuinely nice bloke who aims to get you on the right SUP or Foil gear the first time.
