Try-out courses

Try out canoe or paddleboard at Hofsnäs this summer

During the summer we offer try-out courses for canoe and paddleboard in the beautiful surroundings of Hofsnäs. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone wanting to learn the basics of paddling to then be able to go out safely on the water without a guide.

Try out canoe

The canoe, or the Canadian as it is sometimes called, is paddled by two persons and is most suitable for rivers or small lakes. This course is suited for beginners, children or adults, who is new to the canoe and wants to learn the basics before taking it out on the water alone. During 3 hours we will talk about safety, technique, and how to plan a longer trip, before we put theory into practice and paddle out for a shorter trip together.

The course is suitable from the age of 10. Younger children are welcome to join with adult supervision.

Try out paddleboard

In Sweden we often call the paddleboard for SUP, a stand up paddleboard. This course is suited for anyone who is new to the paddleboard and wants to learn the basics in a safe and comfortable way. During 2 hours we will talk about safety and technique on the shore before going out on the water together. The risk of getting wet when using the paddleboard is quite high and we recommend using swimwear during the course.

We can take groups between 3 and 6 persons per session. The course is suited for persons aged 15 and up.
