Nordfjord Stand Up Paddle Boarding

OVERVIEW

Glide through the pristine sheltered waters of Nordfjord on a stand-up paddleboard that is surprisingly easy to become proficient on. Stand-up paddleboards or SUPs are long, stable and far easier to master than surfboards. The paddle is shaped like a tear drop for efficiency so you can power your way across the water with minimal effort. After putting on a special dry suit and practicing a bit to ensure that you are comfortable on the SUP, you will paddle off behind the guide. The setting is incredibly beautiful as Olden is tucked along the fjord’s southern shore at the mouth of the Oldeelva River toward the end of the Oldedalen Valley. As you make your way across the tranquil waters, you will gaze out over an idyllic landscape surrounded by soaring mountains. If you wish to swim a bit, feel free. It should be easy to get back on your paddleboard.
