Please register in the form below - and accept the terms and conditions before paying at the kiosk.

Rental terms

• The rental includes oar, splash guard and life jacket
• Knowledge equivalent to an introductory course in paddling at the renter. (Have previous experience with kayaking) - this means that the renter must be able to get in and out of the kayak in a controlled manner, if you were to walk around
• Stay within 20 meters of land
• Payment in advance
• You write down where you intend to paddle
• Do not go out in more than 10 m/s wind
• The kayaks must be washed/rinsed with fresh water after use

Liability and insurance

• In the event of damage or theft, you are liable for compensation
• You are responsible for checking whether your insurance applies in the event of damage or loss of rented equipment
• By renting, you confirm that you have knowledge of Kayaking and all the risks it entails
• You as a kayaker have the duty to give way to all other vessels

The first time you rent a kayak, you need to consider the following points:

Water temperature

In Norway, the water is cold all year round in terms of being able to stay in it for a long time. A half-hour swim in 18-degree water is demanding pretty much all year round. Out of season, it is important to think about what kind of clothing you should wear.

Wind

In addition to the fact that wind has a cooling effect, it also makes paddling more demanding. All rental kayaks are stable and can withstand a lot of wind. However, you must be aware that paddling becomes more demanding at winds above 5m/s. This is especially important in offshore winds.

At wind speeds above 10m/s, kayaks should not be rented out. Exceptions can be made if the rental company has at least an Activity Leader course from NPF.
