We offer stand-up paddleboard hire, a lovely way to explore Refsvatnet either before or after a hike.
Renting SUP boards at Preikestolen is a peaceful and different way to experience the area. Here you glide slowly over the water while the mountains reflect on the surface, and the only thing breaking the silence is the paddle hitting the water.
The boards are stable and easy to use, and the rental includes a life jacket, board, and paddle. The standard rental period is 2 hours.
SUP in Norway has become a popular activity for both groups of friends and companies, and the water activities at Refsvatnet by Basecamp are perfect for those who want to combine a nature experience with informal team building in Norway.
The answer is simple: nothing. Our boards are wide and stable, made for everyone to stand on safely, regardless of whether you've tried it before or not.
The hire also includes everything you need: board, paddle, and life vest. Refsvatnet is also calm and sheltered, with no waves or currents, making it an ideal place for stand up paddle in Rogaland, even for beginners.
For businesses, this is also an activity where people can relax. It’s not about performance, but about being together, getting out on the water and trying something completely new. It is precisely this simplicity that makes SUP such a great team-building activity.
The great thing about the water activities at Refsvatnet is that they fit into almost any type of setup. Many companies include a SUP session in breaks between meetings – a quiet half-hour on the water provides a respite that no coffee break can quite replace.
SUP can also be combined with a hike to Preikestolen or a session in our floating saunas, which is a popular combination.
If you want a full day of activities, SUP can also be combined with kayaking and canoeing, which provides a varied day on the water. It is precisely this completeness that rightfully earns a place in the memory book.
There's something special about standing on a board out on Refsvatnet between meetings. Shoulders drop, conversation flows more easily, and colleagues who don't usually talk much find common ground.
Therefore, SUP has also become a popular choice for companies for team building in Norway. The activity is easy to join, social in nature, and provides a quick sense of accomplishment – without feeling like an “exercise”.
At Refsvatnet, participants paddle at their own pace, either alone or with the group. There is no competition or timing, just the feeling of doing something together. For many businesses, this is exactly what is needed between more intensive course and conference sessions.
When colleagues sit side-by-side at separate tables, something often happens to their relationships. Conversations become more informal, and it's these moments that build the camaraderie you take back into your everyday lives. This is precisely why water activities become more than just an activity – they become an investment in the team.
Stand up paddleboarding is just one of several ways to experience the area. You can also explore kayak, canoe and other water activities we offer firewood at BaseCamp.
