Oslo Surfskole
Rolfstangveien, 1364 Fornebu, Norge 1 h 30 min
If you want to escape the city without traveling far, this is the spot. You can rent boards or take a class together, surrounded by waves and fresh sea air. It's all about fun and mastery rather than performance. Fornebu has a unique calmness. After a session on the water, you can dry off on the grass or stroll along the coastal path with the salt water still in your hair.
Why it works
It’s hard to be self-conscious while balancing on a board, which instantly breaks the ice.
What to order
Book a SUP course for two if you are beginners, or just rent boards and paddle out to the small islands nearby.
Best time to go
A late afternoon with evening sun and calm waters
What it costs
NOK 600-900 for two
