ABOUT SALTIE SPORTS

LIFE BEGINS AT SALTIE

Here at Saltie Sports our mission has and will always be to encourage as many people as possible to make those unique memories that last a lifetime. We believe the moments that mean the most are the times in between the bigger moments. The flicker of the sunlight as the paddle grazes the water, the quick smile of pride nearly missed as your child manages to stand on their SUP for the first time without any help. That first light in the morning bouncing off the glimmering water before, it feels like, anybody else in the world is awake and finally those evenings when the whole family can’t keep their eyes open past 7 pm because of how exhilarating the day has been. Those are the moments that we live for here at Saltie Sports. Those are the moments our products were designed for.

Each of our lives is so busy nowadays that sometimes we need a reminder to take a step back and enjoy the little moments that one day will turn into incredible memories that last a lifetime. Life is made of these unique, small, moments that only being outside enjoying the fresh air and being in nature can conjure. As adults we hold these childhood memories so close to us, the days spent lazing on the beach, building a sand castle or splashing in the water, by the river being taken on our parent’s SUP or UK holidays heading to the coast with the whole family for a weekend of undivided attention exploring unknown places.

Based in Poole, Dorset, Saltie Sports’ aim is to provide high-quality water sports products for you to create your own memories that last a lifetime, whether that be as a family, in a couple, with a group of friends or simply those blissful moments spent enjoying quality time by yourself.

WHY SALTIE SPORTS WAS CREATED

In 2020 when Chris exited one business, it was time to start a new, exciting adventure. So, he sat down and thought about some of his best memories. It was soon obvious to him that these best memories were the school holidays spent at Watergate bay in Cornwall, days at the beach or evenings water skiing on the local river. These days were filled with adventures out on the water or in the sand. Chris realised he was now not only reliving these great memories as a dad but he was now in charge of making new ones for himself and creating those first memories for his children that they would cherish for a lifetime.

Chris wanted to create a brand that helped individuals, couples and families start creating memories that would last a lifetime out on the water. Those memories needed to be ones that stayed with people for a lifetime and if these memories were created using a Saltie Sports product, then these products needed to be of high quality so that they not only made people’s adventures, explorations and memories that much better but they could even last for as long as the memory!
