Stand Up paddling

Guests will need to have good SUP skills, capability and fitness in order to take part and to allow the group to travel at practical pace.

A healthy individual that regularly exercises for strength & endurance should have no problems. Please be realistic in assessing your fitness & ability.

Hjørundfjord is more open than other fjords we operate on. Although we always wish for perfect weather, wind & choppy conditions can be encountered.

We ask that when you arrive for your expedition you:

  • Have a good solid paddle technique.
  • Are confident in your ability to paddle 20 Km (standing up).
  • Can control an SUP effectively in varying weather conditions and perform self-rescue.*
  • Are able to effectively Knee-paddle (not sitting) against a 5ms/10knt/12mph/20kph headwind chop.
  • Can swim 100 meters in open water.

* This means being able to handle choppy conditions, right a capsized SUP, get back onboard, retrieve your paddle and continue paddling without assistance.

Hiking

There are three (optional) hikes on the expedition (two to 500 masl and one to 500 masl or the summit at 1073 masl)  that greatly add to the experience. We greatly encourage guests to give them a go, you won’t be sorry.

If you are uncertain of your suitability for the expedition, please contact Titus for advice.

Please note: You will be asked to return a ‘Personal details form’ immediately after booking. Guests arriving with a physical or psychological condition or contraindicator that was not declared in their personal details form may be precluded from participating in some or all of the expedition with no recourse for compensation. (Contraindicators can include; obesity, epilepsy, pregnancy, heart conditions, psychosis etc. . .)
