Scandinavia is a special part of the world, and it sits high on just about every paddler’s bucket list. The unique vistas, the towering fjords, endless summer days, and seemingly endless waterfalls are just a few of the highlights of this mystical region. It’s all of this Northern territory’s unique qualities that make it worth visiting, but this also means you need a specific packing list when you take a paddling trip to Scandinavia.

When SUP boarding this summer you must follow basic safety guidelines to keep yourself out of trouble in case you fall in the water. Always wear a leash to keep your board close when you take a spill. Wear a comfortable and reliable PFD to stay afloat. Keep your gear strapped or clipped in. All electronics, navigation, and first aid should be kept safe in a dry bag.
