Please note:
Please note that this is a SUP/packraft hike suitable even for beginners. We paddle in flowing water, the rapids being class 1. We require previous paddling experience from the participants. A sufficient level is MELOJA 1 or similar skills. If you are unsure of your skills, please get in touch. If necessary, we can organize the necessary paddling training before the trip
Recommended Packraft whitewater rafting courses are organized by e.g. Korpi-Jaakko, Ankarat Avotunturi. https://avotunturit.fi/packraft/
We spend the entire trip outside. Dress according to the weather, also bring a warm, dry change of clothes. When paddling, you should be prepared to get wet. You can use a light dry suit (Ursuit MPS etc.) or a full canoeing outfit as a paddling outfit. Other waterproof clothing, gore-tex or similar (note water rain!) is also fully functional. We carry the equipment with us throughout the trip, so please also plan your meals accordingly.
We get to start the excursion directly from the car, so there is no need to carry the equipment a long way to the river. At the end of the trip, we carry the equipment from the river to the car approx. 6 km. The participant must be able to carry his equipment himself, in his own carrying device (ringka). The maximum weight of the equipment during the trip is 25 kg. It is also possible to get a transport service for equipment from Jo, so if you are unsure whether you can carry your equipment, ask the transport service.
Ask if necessary, we are happy to help!
What should I bring?
Pack camping equipment that will last you four days and three nights in the countryside.
All the equipment must fit in the backpack, in which we also pack the kayaking equipment when we go from the river to the car on foot.
The equipment must be packed watertight. You can pack the equipment either inside the bike (dry bags) waterproof, or you can also pack the bike inside a waterproof bag. In this case, you need a large waterproof dry bag, in which you can pack the whole bike while in the water.
