About
Stand up paddling is one of the most wholesome and invigorating water sports in the world. We start our tours in flat water (no waves and hopefully no wind). Then, you learn to balance and technique from the ground, which you have great benefit when you then take on bigger challenges. When we are entering the water, it may be easier to start at the knees until you feel confident and have found the balance. Once you have mastered the paddle on her knees, raise yourself up and set up parallel to your feet on the board.
We gather in Ekorrsele to be equipped with wet suits, life jackets, and helmets and walk down to the paddleboards. Here we learn the basics of still water, and when we feel ready so we go in Ekorrstryckan. This part offers a bit more flowing water and even some fun waves that we are trying to surf down on. Calculate with getting wet!
Good stuff to bring on the tour
- Mosquito repellent
- Something to drink
- Waterproof camera
