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!).

Show up at the dock, grab a paddle, and let’s explore the Stockholm archipelago together.
See you on the water!

Thursday Social Kayaking in Stockholm
Pampas Kayak & SUP, Karlbergs Strand 6a, Solna, SEJoin us for a relaxed Thursday paddle with the Stockholm Paddle Collective, powered by LEK MER Kajak & SUP!
Important: RSVP on Meetup is not enough to reserve a kayak.
To join the paddle, you need to book your kayak through LEK MER here:
https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/lekmer/items/532949/?full-items=yes&flow=1146879Your booking includes kayak, paddle, life jacket and spray skirt.
Who can participate? People who already feel comfortable in a kayak and want to spend more time on the water, meet other paddlers, and make Thursday their regular paddle day.
We paddle together, chat, share tips, enjoy Stockholm from the water, and learn from each other along the way. The focus is simple: good people, good paddling, and a calm break from the week.
Who this is for
This event is for paddlers who are already self-sufficient on the water. You should be able to paddle safely in the current conditions, control your kayak, and take responsibility for yourself during the paddle.
Disclaimer: This is not a beginner course or a guided tour. It is an organized social group paddle without an official leader.
If you are new to kayaking, we recommend joining one of our beginner courses first so you can feel confident and safe before joining the Thursday paddles.
What to bring
Please bring clothes suitable for the weather and water temperature, a change of clothes, and a positive social mindset. Avoid cotton if possible, and dress for the conditions.

1. RSVP here on Meetup so others can see who is coming.
2. Book your kayak through LEK MER to reserve your spot:
https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/lekmer/items/532949/?full-items=yes&flow=1146879
3. Show up ready to paddle and meet the group.Stockholm is built on water, and Thursday paddling is our way of creating a regular community around it. Come once, meet the group, and if it feels right — make Thursday your weekly paddle habit.
