keskiviikko, 15 maaliskuu 2023 14:46<p>When arriving to the Finnish coast and archipelago area, there is a lot to see and do before and after your sea kayaking experience.

<h3 style="text-align: center;">TURKU</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">Turku, the former capital of Finland, is situated by the sea, and offers a nice mixture of culture, food and events. Turku is our main base for sea and archipelago kayaking, and the Turku hotels, Turku airport and Turku railway station are some of the places we transport clients from when going further south into the Archipelago National Park for kayaking adventures.</h4>

sunnuntai, 24 heinäkuu 2022 18:36Turvallisuus meloessasi
tiistai, 12 heinäkuu 2022 16:45- Älä melo yksin, tämä ei ole koskaan yhtä turvallista kuin melominen yhdessä jonkun kanssa
- Pysy lähellä rantaa ja poissa veneiden tieltä. Jo yli 50 metrin päässä rannasta kaatuminen kajakilla on vaarallista lämpimässäkin vedessä jos et osaa tehdä syvän veden pelastuksia.
- Käyttä kajakissa aukkopeitettä vain jos olet kouluttautunut käyttään sellaista. Jos irroituskahva ei ole esillä edessäsi, aukkopeitteen avaaminen kaatuessasi voi olla hyvin vaikeata tai jopa mahdotonta
- Käytä olosuhteisiin sopivia vaatteita
- Alkoholi ja muut huumausaineet eivät ole sallittuja ennen melontaa tai sen aikana
- Älä melo pimeän jälkeen tai muutenkaan huonossa näkyvyydessä
- Harjoittele itsepelastusta ja paripelastusta ennen kuin lähdet ulos. Liity kajakki- tai SUP-lautailun peruskurssille, jos et ole osallistunut sellaiselle! Aavameren kurssit löydät täältä!
- Kerro aina ystävällesi, että olet menossa ulos melomaan, minne olet matkalla ja milloin sinun pitäisi palata. Ota aina vesitiivisti pakattu puhelin mukaasi retkelle.
