Everyone meet at the parking lot at Vaulen Badeplass in Stavanger at 10.00. Look for our trailer with kayaks. Getting here is easy, the Mariero Station is just a short walk away and if you arrive by car, you can park here.
Shortly after everyone has arrived, there will be a briefing with some handy information. Afterwards, everyone will get a kayak and the needed equipment. Before getting onto the water we will go through the safety routines, and you will learn about the equipment. Pack light, we are not able to store personal belongings; they either have to go in the kayak or be left in your car.
At 10.45 we should be ready and on the water. We will then teach you:

The day ends at 18.00 where we will clean the kayaks and equipment. Afterwards, we will do a recap of the day and talk about the plan for the next day.
We meet at Vaulen Badeplass at 10.00. The day starts with a briefing for the day and information about safe paddling. At 10.30 we launch the kayaks on the water, where we will recap some of the techniques from the day before. Practice makes perfect.
We will make a lunch break on one of the islands between 13.00 and 13.30. During the break, the group will make the route plan for the next part of the journey. After the break, we will continue and follow the plan that the group made in the break.
