THE BAY

Sheltered paddling on Aarhus Bay

The rental centers the experience on Aarhus Bugten — calm, accessible water that makes it easy to find your balance and enjoy a relaxed paddle with clear sightlines to shore.

THE GEAR

Stable hardboards, full kit and warm showers

Surf Agency supplies rigid, wide boards for beginners and touring/race boards for faster paddling; wetsuits in sizes up to 4X, lockers, changing rooms and warm showers make the outing low‑fuss.

THE INSTRUCTION

A short shore briefing and tailored group events

A 30‑minute introduction covers equipment, technique and safety; groups of eight or more are managed through instructor‑led, bespoke events for teambuilding or private gatherings.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

You arrive to kit laid out beside the water, receive a compact 30‑minute introduction ashore, and spend the remainder of the two‑hour session traversing the sheltered sweep of Aarhus Bay on stable, hardboards — a straightforward, social way to try SUP or push a bit farther on a touring board.

Who this rental suits — and who needs special arrangements.

1
First‑time paddlersAn ideal choice: the booking includes a 30‑minute introduction and wide, stable boards designed for beginners.
2
Lightly experienced paddlersA good match — options include touring/race boards for those who want a slightly faster, longer glide within the two‑hour window.

Families with childrenFamily outings are supported: wetsuits in sizes for children and adults up to 4X and facilities like lockers and showers make logistics easier.
4
Large groups & corporate teamsGroups of eight or more require instructor supervision; Surf Agency provides tailored, instructor‑led events for teambuilding or private group activities rather than standard self‑service rentals.
