Kayaking Community

The end is the beginning

Today my kayak club celebrated the end of the season/ year – and the beginning of the new season/year (30 September and 1 October respectively). I got a club Cup as the new member who paddled most. Which is a nice bonus to the main reward – to be a kayaker 🤍

Fur Island

Fur is a beautiful island on Limfjorden when one can go fossil hunting, some fossils being 55 million y.o.! But above all it is a great destination for kayaking. Waves here can be quite unpredictable. On this trip we got to experience both: the mayhem and the bliss!

Sunset Magic 🧡

It was SO beautiful I almost cried. No filter used, it was precisely like that.

"Having a glass of tea in the middle of the river" 💫

Summer is back!.

…for a few hours 😅

When the sky is so big 🤍

..and the evening is so peaceful

Early morning

Today was one of my best kayak mornings ever! The water was unbelievably still and transparent! Kattegat is a very special sea! It can behave like a lake – and like the North Sea! All alone I paddled to the bird island, to eat my breakfast and enjoy the nature’s glory. * no filter

The Seal Islands

A trip to the islands is always a treat 🌊🦭

Paddling under the rainbow – and the rain 🌧️🌈

First there appeared this huge rainbow (it was a double rainbow, one can’t see here). But then there came some drops – and finally a shower! It was so fun and refreshing. And magnificent! I couldn’t take my phone out: I wish I could have captured those moments. A kayak is my recipe for happiness… read more

Trip to the seal islands 🦭

Yesterday and today I’ve finally been on a trip to a group of beautiful islands that lie 6 km off the shore. One has to wait for really good weather, because this trip is rowing “out into the sea” and it is not the same as tracing the shore. The islands, Hirsholmene, are just amazing: picturesque… read more

Grey Fog Æstetik

Today is like this. And it was a wonderful trip anyway.

Exploring new areas

Lake Pielinen (Finland)

The Windmill

There is something about that windmill, that makes me feel awe and a hint of fear. The structure is huge and on windy days the water around the mill often turns into a churning mess.

Early bird 🐦‍⬛

This summer I took a habit to wake up as early as possible on days that are especially good for being out on the water. There was a day where I was ready in my kayak before 5 o’clock! This new habit brought me so many precious moments! This view is from today, just before the start of my trip.

Heatwave

Denmark has also been hit by a heatwave!. But the temperatures are milder than in continental Europe – and the wind from the coast basically makes it pleasant. The beaches are crowded. The yachts are many. And I am especially glad for kayaking these days 🥹

I'm set to go, who's coming with?

Got my new crossbars that can handle over 300lbs. My new Js. Which the padding is too much and I already ripped it a little. I'll probably replace them or shave them down, or that'll happen with age. Who knows. Ai assisted in putting three on at once. Gone are the days when I had 5 kayaks laying… read more

Group trips or solo?

I realized that I appreciate both formats equally!! The first picture is from today’s group trip, where we shared coffee, snacks and good jokes on the bird island. The second one is from a relaxing solo trip: my secret little beach where I stop to bathe and have an ice coffee 🐚🌊☀️

Sunset vibes

I love mornings. But the hours before sunset have their charm, too 🌊🐚🌅

An island of birds and bunkers

Water magic

Beautiful and everchanging colors! A meditative kayak trip.

Post Apocalyptic vibe

The local harbour vibe is one of a kind!

Along the Shore

The weather has been perfect these last days. The sun is hanging high up in the sky: nordic summer with its white nights is the BEST time 🌊🌞

🩵

Sometimes the North Sea looks somewhat Mediterranean to me 😊

Wind and waves

I was out with some clubmates today. Waves were really tall in some stretches of the route! Plus wind with strong gusts. Was that refreshing for a change? For sure. But for the time being I prefer calmer waters.

Wind and waves

Today I experienced something new: we (a group of 8) were 6 km from the shore in rising winds and tall waves. I wasn’t very confident, but somehow managed to stay quite relaxed (it is very important not to be stiff and terrified). The trip went well and eventually we returned home, to the safety of… (edited) read more

There are some things you learn best in calm and some in storms.

Enjoyed kayaking along mangrove river.

Tisza Lake

Hitting the river

Great day for it, buddy finally got some time off so I didn't have to go alone (edited)

Y is for 💛

I simply love yellow. And they do, too 🥹

Inner peace ❤️

Evening on the water

I can’t remember the last time I was on the water this late. I finished my little trip at 9 pm. Evening kayaking can be amazing: watching sunset and all.. But I prefer mornings 🤷🏻‍♀️

San Vicente

Man, there must be like, a million profile pics swimming down here. Who knows.

Adding features

Added paddle holders and brackets to strap to for transport

A Perfect Evening

One of those perfect days when everyone is out and about on the water!! The kayakers from all clubs, the rowers, those on little boats, the fishermen. And on top of that the rescue station training with boats and helicopters 🫶🌊🛶

Morning kayaking is the best time

Enjoying the early morning water before the bugs & summer heat come out to play

Open House

It has been open house in our kayak club today 🌊🦀🦭🪸⛵️🦪🛶 And there will be another one on Thursday. So if you live in the North of Denmark, you are more than welcome!

Nagoldtalsperre

Highly recommended! Excellent clear water, kayaks available, a lot parking spaces. 10/10

Sunny and windy

Being out there on the water, on a good day and with a company of friends – for me it is simply the best! 😍🌊🛶

Last summer days

Summer is almost over.. It doesn’t come as a surprise: the fall has been in the air for a while 🤷🏻‍♀️Today’s evening was so nice, that I spent it entirely on the water and near the water. It felt like a goodbye kiss from summer 😔 🌊👙⛱️🌊 🍉
