AS CLOSE AS IT GETS
Apelviken is one of Northern Europe's top windsurfing beaches, with a well-established surf culture. Surfcenter is the heart of everything to do with boards, water, and the joy of surfing.
​
For forty years, curious surfers have taken their first wobbly attempts on a board with us – guided by enthusiastic and certified instructors. Back then, mostly classic windsurfing. Today, also wave surfing and SUP.
We offer Level 1 courses and rentals for both small and big adventures. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a returning pro – there’s a board that fits you and a new memory waiting to be made. You simply can’t get any closer to the sea than this!
​
Surfcenter is open every day from 10 AM to 7 PM during weeks 26–32.

Surf or surf?
What kind of surfing you’ll get on the day you head out is up to Mother Nature. She’s the one in charge. And that’s part of the charm – you go with the flow, adjust to the wind and the weather.
​
​
Each course is shaped by the day’s conditions. That way, you’ll get the most out of your time – no matter what the weather brings. But roughly speaking …
Lots of wind? Then it’s wave surfing!
Perfect breeze? Windsurfing it is!
No wind at all? Ahh, that’s ideal for a peaceful SUP ride!

FOR OUR YOUNGER GUESTS
Love waves and water? Of course you do. Everyone does. And that’s why Surf School is for you!
For kids who are comfortable in the water, know how to swim but are not quite old enough for our regular surf courses, this is the perfect introduction to the world of surfing.
​
Surf School takes place on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 08:00 to 09:30.
We learn about water safety, try out different surf sports, and most importantly – have loads of fun in Apelviken’s amazing waves!
Our awesome instructors make sure everyone has a safe and exciting experience. The focus is on play, learning, and lots of laughter!
Spots are limited. Book at the reception, the mini-golf, or the Surfcenter.

STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING
A relatively easy surf sport that trains coordination, mobility, and balance. Twice a week, we offer a SUP course where you’ll learn the basics and technique – while enjoying a beautiful ride on the sea.
​
The course is for both complete beginners who have never set foot on a surfboard and for those with previous experience on the water. We go through simple techniques and paddle together in a group.
If you already know the basics, there’s room to improve your skills and get tips from our instructors.
Minimum age: 13 years – Tuesdays and Saturdays.
RENTAL PRICES
The surf centre has equipment for rent at very competitive rates. Wetsuits, life jackets, helmets and other accessories are always included when renting our equipment, and must be used. To rent equipment, you must be accompanied by an adult.
