For the Sognefjord expedition (5/6 days). Guests will need to have SUP experience in order to enjoy the days of paddling and to allow the group to travel at practical pace. An average and healthy individual that engages in some form of regular exercise should have no problems.
Please be realistic in assessing your ability to complete a stand up paddling expedition in varying weather conditions covering 50-60Km over 5 days (Sognefjord Expedition).
The conditions are mostly calm and stable for the summer but we can occasionally run into some wind and a bit of chop, especially at the beginning and end of the season.
To take part in a Sognefjord expedition you should:
- Have a good solid paddle technique.
- Are confident in your ability to paddle 15 Km (standing up).
- Can control an SUP effectively in varying weather conditions and perform self-rescue.*
- Can effectively Knee-paddle (not sitting) against a headwind.
- Can swim 100 meters in open water.
* This means being able to handle choppy conditions, right a capsized loaded SUP, get back onboard, retrieve your paddle and continue paddling without assistance.
If you are uncertain of your suitability for the expedition, please contact Titus for advice.
