REMOTE
SUP
Norwegian fjords expedition
An inexplicable pull and tranquillity draw me and so many others, escaping the comforts of
home life. For a couple of years now, SUP Norway has been making this possible and rids us
of the majority of the preparation that consumes so much time when exploring far and
unspoilt places.
UNESCO heritage status doesn’t come easy but the Nærøyfjord and its surrounds must have
earned theirs without struggle. Situated in the western county of Sogn og Fjordane and a
branch of the Sognefjord, the scene is genuinely breathtaking. With SUP being the vehicle of
choice, the perspective and freedom offered allows you to absorb the kilometre high cliffs
and countless freshwater waterfalls at a pace of your choosing.

Remote, ruggedly beautiful and large beyond words. As the years pass I’m
swaying more and more towards such environments verging on
inhospitable, devoid of noise and human activity.
Before praising SUP more I must confess – After the initial launch of SUP, I wasn’t its biggest
fan. Poor efficiency , potential back pain, tiny storage and being too easily influenced by
wind were all equally concerning. Despite all of us in the expedition being relatively
experienced paddlers, Titus ran through paddle technique and positioning on the board in
the interest of ironing out bad habits or approaches that could cause reduced speed and
muscle fatigue throughout the five-day paddle. With a reluctant grin I can safely say that
this hour refresh was to be the start of a new mind set and relationship with the once
‘awkward’ stand up paddle board. A relationship that strengthened each day on the fjords.
The Nærøyfjord is well sheltered by high peaks either side and dense forest often stretching
up to 750m high in places. Nevertheless it’s not immune to the elements, so with no boat
support and limited landing options, safe practices are essential. SUP Norway’s main man –
Titus Kidzoman, showed our group how crucial the abilities to forecast weather and adapt to
changes quickly were on multiple occasions. He achieved this through good meteorology
knowledge, from years of marine experience, built from a vast array of jobs and hobbies
involving the sea. Luckily our conditions never became extreme but nerves were put at ease
by his cautious approach, all the while sticking to original plans as closely as possible.
