Autumn paddling on the Drammenselva

All our autumn paddling trips are over for this season. Do not despair. Feel free to join us on a winter trip!

Welcome to autumn's most beautiful adventure. Duration approx. 1.5-2 hours. Start and end point Bragernes strand. The paddling trip goes out towards the Drammensfjord past the Fjordparken and back. If we have time, we also paddle a little up the river towards the Ypsilon bridge. Enjoy delicious autumn colors in lovely autumn sun. In order to get the best experience of autumn's lovely colours, this tour should be done during the day, ending no later than 5pm. This is because the sun sets and disappears from the river already at around 4.30pm.

A wet or dry suit may be advisable, but not a requirement. Training clothes and wet shoes are also fine. A woolen jumper or windbreaker is a good idea on cool autumn days. The price includes everything else you need for paddling equipment. We have some dry and wet suits for loan. Send us a request for the desired size and we'll see what we can do.

The recommended lower age limit for participation is 16 years. Participants must be able to swim. Self-declaration form is filled in before we paddle out.

There is always the opportunity to take pictures along the way. If desired, we will also make a short stop for food and drink. Price includes all necessary paddling equipment. Life jackets are required. You can borrow this from us.

Book a paddling experience on a stand up paddle board with a friend, the family, the dog, the cat or come alone. The tour can be carried out on all weekdays, weekdays and weekends in September-October.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What should I wear? Dress like you're going for a workout or jog. Dress according to the weather. If it's summer and sunny, wear shorts and a t-shirt. If the weather is cooler, wear training tights and long-sleeved sweaters. A light windbreaker can also be advisable in some cases.

2. Can I borrow a wet suit or a dry suit? We have some wetsuits for loan if desired. Feel free to send us a request for the current size.

3. Will I get wet/fall into the water? There is always a risk of falling into the water, so bring a towel and a change of clothes. We have waterproof bags for storing a change of clothes on board. We generally find that very few people fall into the water, as our boards are very stable.

4. Can I bring my mobile? Yes, you can bring a mobile phone. We have some waterproof mobile cases for loan, if desired. It is SUPER fine to take pictures during a paddling trip. However, you take valuables with you at your own risk.

5..How stable are the SUP boards that are used? The boards we use are very stable and are very suitable for beginners. Length 320cm and 350cm.

5. Do I have to use a life jacket? Yes, you must use a life jacket at all our events. This is to ensure that safety is as good as possible. The instructor has approved the "Life saving in water course", but it is still safe if everyone uses a vest.

6. Is there free parking at Bragernes Strand? No, there are public parking lots nearby for a fee.

7. What is the age limit for participating in a guided paddling trip via Someday Boats? If you book a private guided paddling trip, we have no lower age limit. We still recommend that the smallest children sit with the adults on the boards. We have a board that is intended for paddling by children/young people. This can be used when the whole family wants to paddle on their own SUP board.

8. What size of SUP board is used for the paddling trips? Our boards are normally 320cm and 350cm long. There is plenty of room to sit in the front for one person.

9. What requirements do you have for previous paddling experience? With us, you are most welcome even if you have never paddled a stand up paddle board before. We have no requirements for previous experience. If you are new to the SUP board, we provide the necessary instructions and help you get started. If you have paddled SUP a lot in the past, you will also find the paddling trips rewarding and exciting.

10. Who is responsible if an accident occurs on the paddling trip? We take safety seriously. Instructor has approved "Life saving in water course". Safety procedures are reviewed before each paddling trip. After all, it is still you as a tour participant who is the responsible party for your own safety. We therefore recommend that everyone have insurance (life or travel insurance) in order, use a life jacket and a leash (safety line attached to the board).

11. Is there a toilet nearby that I can use before the paddling trip? Yes, a public toilet is available at Bragernes Strand.

12. Is it possible to buy food before/after the paddling trip? Bragernes Strand is within walking distance of most facilities. The closest you will find is the Shell petrol station. Close by is also the CC shopping center with several shops and eateries.
