About us
Welcome to Stockholm’s Most Knowledge-Driven Paddle Community! 🚣‍♂️✨
Stockholm is a city built on water—so why just look at it when you can experience it? Whether you’re an expat looking to meet new people, a beginner wanting to feel safe on the water, or a seasoned paddler looking for a "gear-head" community, you’ve found your home.
The Stockholm Paddle Collective is powered by LEK MER Kajak & SUP. We’ve moved away from the heavy, clunky "plastic tubs" found at standard rentals. Instead, we focus on the joy of paddling world-class equipment from brands like Melker of Sweden, Aqua Bound, and Starboard.
Why Join Us?
Paddling is our favorite form of "Digital Detox" and "Soft Travel." We don’t just rent you a boat; we welcome you into a community that values skill, safety, and epic views.
Community First: Meet like-minded locals and internationals for social paddles. No one paddles alone unless they want to!
Premium Gear: Experience the difference that high-end, lightweight kayaks and SUPs make. It’s 100% more fun when the gear works with you, not against you.
Unique Events: From "Sunset Socials" at Eden to "Technique & Coffee" mornings at Pampas.
Our Hubs
We operate out of Stockholm’s two most iconic paddling spots:
Eden (Kajakbryggan): For that "City-Vibe" and high-energy sunset sessions.
Pampas Marina: For a more serene, nature-focused experience.
Who is this for?
Everyone! We offer everything from "Yellow Paddle" certification courses (Gult Paddelpass) for those who want to turn a hobby into a skill, to relaxed Thursday afternoon "After-Paddles."
Ready to get on the water?
Join this group (it’s free!).
RSVP for an upcoming session.
Show up at the dock, grab a paddle, and let’s explore the Stockholm archipelago together.
See you on the water!

SUP YOGA @ Eden kayak & SUP
Eden Kayak & SUP, Smedsuddsvägen 23, Stockholm, SE## Let the water set the pace
During August and September, join us for SUP Yoga in central Stockholm at Eden Kayak & SUP. This calm and playful class takes place on a paddleboard, with Lake Mälaren and the Stockholm skyline around you.
We meet at Eden Kayak & SUP and head out on the water together. The class is suitable for complete beginners as well as people who already practise yoga or paddle. The focus is on balance, presence and movement, with time to enjoy being on the water.
A SUP board makes the body work in a different way. Small stabilising muscles are activated while the movement of the water gives each position a new dimension.## Meet your teacher, Jana
Jana has practised yoga for ten years across Europe and Asia and has been teaching since 2022. She has led classes at places including SATS and Yogansa, a dance and yoga studio. She especially enjoys practising outdoors, where nature makes it easier to slow down, be present and reconnect with ourselves.
She loves the water and water sports, and looks forward to welcoming you onto Lake Mälaren. During the class, Jana will help you find your own pace and balance. The movement of the water activates the small stabilising muscles and creates an atmosphere that is both calming and energising.### Practical information
