The Paddleboarding business, formerly overseen by the late Sean "Ace" O'Connor, is now available for sale following the settlement of his estate. Sean, a well-regarded entrepreneur with a passion for Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) and fashion, established a strong brand with a loyal following in the SUP community. The business encompasses a broad range of branded apparel and accessories, including paddleboards, UV shirts, rash guards, and eco-friendly polarized sunglasses. It boasts substantial social media presence with 30,000 Instagram followers, 20,000 on Facebook, and over 357,000 views on YouTube.
The business generates revenue primarily from its sales of branded clothing and sport-specific products, with $70,000 worth of inventory currently available. Other income streams include earnings from blog posts, affiliate marketing, and participation in SUP events as a vendor and sponsor. The business maintains established manufacturing and distribution channels, with previous logistics being managed by Ship Monk, which could be transitioned to other distribution solutions such as Amazon FBA or third-party logistics.
This opportunity is ideal for individuals passionate about sports like SUP and surfing, with a knack for capitalizing on a dedicated customer base. New owners have options to either engage in national events or enhance online sales. The business comes with substantial assets including brand materials, domains, inventory, vendor contacts, and marketing materials. This business is set to restart, offering post-sale support to guide the new owner in continuing Sean’s vision, with the opportunity to extend his legacy and further grow the brand.
