WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING?

Use convenient clothes and we recommend packing your phone in a waterproof case. There is even a possibility to pack extra clothes and a picknick in the kayaks, or why not a tent for staying overnight somewhere.

SAFETY

You are responsible for your own safety. You should determine whether you can manage to paddle in the current weather. You should also be aware of weather-changes. You should adjust your paddling according to weather and prerequisite.

In case you´ve never paddled before, we recommend you to use our guide-service. You get path guiding, company and advice from an experienced paddler.

Polkuped does not take any responsibility for your stuff during your paddling trip.

WEATHER CHANGES

Even though it’s windy, there is many ways to still paddle in lee and good conditions. Take help from our path suggestions or ask the staff at Strand-Mölle, where they think it would be the best conditions to paddle due to the wind.

The safest paddling time is late at night. The wind usually calms down after 7-8 pm and the ocean offers a great mirror.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You take care of our kayaks. Our archipelago is full of rocks and you should be careful when you paddle near land and in areas with many rocks. You pay for any damage that has been caused by carelessness.

You keep agreed times.

Premium:

Melker Trossö is a fiberglass which suits both the beginner and the more experienced paddler. It is sturdy and safe but at the same time very easy to maneuver. It has a spacious cockpit and good comfort. Pack it for a enjoyable trip or for a playful trip on the waves. If you’re looking for a playful allroundkayak to evolve with, Melker Trossö is really a kayak you should consider.

Base:

Point 65: Buccaneer och Doubloon

Single: Buccaneer is a daytrip-kayak with high performance and good touring feature like longer seakayaks. Buccaneer has the little extra and is something beyond the usual when it comes to daytrips. The kayak is equipped with adjustable foot pedals when the rudder is standard. The cockpit is spacious and is easy to get in and out of. Buccaneer has built-in padded thighsupport for good comfort and good contact with the kayak. The seat is functional and gives you an ergonomic paddling position. In the prow and the stern ther is waterproof storage.

Double: Doubloom correspond the Buccaneer kayak, but has seats for two people. The one that sits in the back, takes care of the rudder. It works really good to paddle with a kid in the front.

Double Diamond Core Eve 15:

This is a stable beginners kayak which suits smaller persons. A bigger child, an adolescent or a smaller grown-up in the size XXS-S/M can use this kayak. The seat is comfortable and padded and the kayak has storage spaces. The kayak has skegg but not a rudder.

This is one of the most sold kayaks and the kayak has even won price for the best trip kayak in a shorter version. It has a big cockpit, a wide seat and a high backrest, which gives you as a kayaker a lot of space and good comfort. The kayak has no rudder but is easy to maneuver and is stable.

Båthusrundan: is suitable for new beginners and for short sightseeingtrips. Calm and protected way near the beach. Is also suitable if it’s a little bit windy. Also suitable for SUP.

Fjärdsbådan runt: nice, short beginnerstrip which is suitable for both paddling and SUP. On Fjärdsbådan runt you can see summer sheep on graze. There is a possibility to take ashore but the sheep are often gregarious (and kind).

Långbådan runt: good beginnerstrip. Is especially suitable if it’s windy on the beach because then this trip is in lee. Paddle near the beach. In the narrow strait and the southest on the map has a lot of rocks. Be careful. If the water level is not too low, it’s even possible to take a shortcut through the strait right over the text “Grangrund”.

Flaket runt: nice, variating trip which is also suitable for beginners. A little bit longer than Långbådan runt, but fits very well even though it’s windy from south, west and east. Often calm waters in the whole route except in northern wind. Paddle near land and lengthen the trip if wanted.

Marsskärsberget: nice islet surrounded by a lot of rocks. Near the blue dot, there is many small cliffs which gives the possibility to both camping and picnicking. This route requires more paddling experience because of the wind on Gloppet often is stronger than on the more protected routes. A short trip can also be made to Strandhyddan which is the parishes property. Strandhyddan has the possibility to take ashore and have a picnic with sea-view.

Halsön runt: this is a whole-day-trip which demands more experience in kayaking. Variating route with both inner archipelago and more open waters. In the area near the scouts cabin you paddle in shallow flads protected from the wind and at the scouts cabin you can take ashore and eat your lunch, which you have to bring by yourself. There is a suitable pier which makes it easy to take ashore.
