Green Paddling 🚣🏻♀️ May edition
Details
....aaaaand we are back in the water also this year!!!
Kayaking around the city channels is one of the most enjoyable activities in Copenhagen on a sunny day.
GreenKayak, a NGO dedicated to raise awareness to ocean pollution, makes few (open) kayaks available across the city to paddle and help collecting waste floating in the water.
Open kayaks are typically easier to manovre than other types, and do not require EPP2/EPP3 patents.
I booked 2 double kayaks for 4 ppl in total.
It is possible to use the facilities at Kayak Republic free of charge: restrooms, lockers and showers.
REQUIREMENT
- Safety first - Need to be able to swim comfortably
- Waterproof gear preferable
- Sun lotion and sunglasses
- Change of clothes in case yours get a bit wet during paddling
- Towel, if you want to shower or just in case
COST
Unfortunately, due to the frequent last minute cancellation last summer, it was challenging backfilling participants with short or no notice, and it was very disrespectful to the group and GreenKayak NGO.
To reserve your spot, please transfer 150 kr. to my mobilepay 25717293. The amount will be returned to you if you show up on time, or the event is cancelled for other reasons; this remains a free non-profit event.
The kayak rental is free of charge provided that:
- we are able to pick-up some waste during our paddling activity
- we share our experience on the So.Me #GreenKayak
