Summer and water sports go hand in hand

Summer and sun could mean pleasant days at the beach - or speedy water activities with a boat in the Åland archipelago. If you're curious about the latter alternative, please don't hesitate to contact Patrik Larsson at Larssons Vattensport.

Patrik offers kiteboarding and parasailing, as well as the possibility of hiring water skis, wakeboards and other fun-filled water activity equipment to attach to a boat.

Kiteboarding course

Patrik also arranges three-day courses in kiteboarding for all those who want to learn the basics of the sport and how to become independent kiteboarders.

Patrik has 20 years' experience in water sports and is also a licensed kiteboarding instructor with certified training by the International Kiteboard Organisation (IKO). The courses are located at Ödkarbyviken in Saltvik or on waters with suitable wind.
"Kiteboarding is both an amazing experience and a great challenge - you'll get an incredible adrenaline kick", says Patrik. "When you get up on the board for the first time you are bound to cheer and yell - it's an indescribable feeling!"

Group activities and rentals

Larssons Vattensport also offers group activities for companies, conferences, stag parties, hen parties, groups of friends and other types of groups. A group of a suitable size can try parasailing, water-skiing, wakeboard or inflatable water toys for three hours.
"You can either visit me here in Ödkarbyviken or I can put the boat on a trailer and come to a place of your choice", Patrik explains. "It will be a slightly different day - a welcome break in a day full of business meetings".

Patrik also has water sports equipment for hire, either for a day or for a full week.

Summer and winter seasons

Thanks to wetsuits, the water sports season stretches into September. Patrik also has plans for arranging kiteboarding courses on ice in the winter, for both long distance skaters and snowboarders.

"Åland has a long season for water sports in the summer and riding on snow and ice in the winter - and we can use the same equipment", Patrik concludes.
