Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

A river run from Rökeriet to the småbåtshamn

The adventure begins with a brief instruction at Rökeriet and finishes at the småbåtshamnen where Smedjeån runs into the Lagan; participants park at the finish and are driven to the start if needed.

THE GEAR

Rent wetsuits, wetshoes and borrow life vests

Kitekalle offers wetsuit and wetshoe rental and lends life vests; appropriate clothing ranges from swimwear in warm weather to a wetsuit when it’s cold or wet, plus sun protection and a waterproof bag for valuables.

THE FORMAT

Short instruction, then self‑guided paddling — solo or MEGA SUP

After a brief onshore briefing you paddle under your own control; you can choose a standard SUP or a MEGA SUP that fits 6–8 people, and the outing lasts roughly 1.5–2 hours.

What the day feels like

How the outing feels

The trip is compact and river‑focused: you meet at the finish, are transported to the start at Rökeriet, get a concise on‑land briefing and then paddle downstream at your own pace — river features and occasional shallow spots make basic technique and calm balance useful throughout the roughly two‑hour outing.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should be cautious.

1
Active adults and outdoors seekersGood match for adults with basic fitness and swimming ability who want a short guided‑start, self‑guided paddle on a calm river.
2
Families with childrenFamilies can participate: children around 10 years old often paddle independently, while children under 10 may ride with an adult on the board.
3
Groups and social paddlersWell suited for groups — you can book a MEGA SUP that holds 6–8 people for a social experience on the river.
4
Beginner or cautious paddlersBeginners are welcome but should note the outing involves self‑guided paddling after the briefing and must accept that paddling is at their own risk; sitting or lying on the board is recommended when stability is challenged.
