How a Company Event with SUP works
Welcome and equipment
When you arrive at Surf Agency for your corporate event, you will be given wetsuits and other necessary equipment (we have suits in ALL sizes) and of course you can use our changing facilities.
Introduction to SUP
Before we hit the water, you'll get a brief introduction to Stand Up Paddle, technique, equipment and safety.
On the water
Surf Agency is located right by the water at Aarhus Marina. A perfect start for the beginner to start out in the calm water. Once everyone has found their balance and mastered navigating the SUP board, we'll paddle out into Aarhus Bay close to shore, where we'll engage in competitions, collaborative exercises and fun team challenges. Our skilled instructors ensure that your event is customised to your level and wishes.
Extra experiences (Optional extras)
Extend the good surfer vibe with some cosy time in our outdoor wellness. Relax and enjoy the warmth and cosiness of our sauna and hot tubs while you review which team had the best strategy during the SUP relays or who scored the best goal in SUP Polo or.

Nice to know
Changing and shower facilities
We have changing facilities - both indoors and in our surfer garage, so you don't have to change in a car park 🙂 There are mirrors, hair dryers, and of course toilets available.
We have 2+1 showers indoors and 4 outdoor showers with both hot and cold water.
Should individual employees require private changing or shower facilities, we can accommodate this and offer individual changing rooms or showers.
What about the weather?
There's no such thing as bad weather - only bad clothing 😉 We have warm wetsuits, boots, hats, mittens and more, so you can keep warm! It doesn't matter if it rains - we jump in the water and get wet anyway. We know this area really well and know where to seek shelter in the wind. Of course, we keep an eye on the weather and if we think it's too dangerous to go on the water (lightning, thunder and stormy weather) we'll talk to you in the days leading up to the event and discuss the possibilities. If vi cancelled due to weather, we try to move the event to another day or come up with some alternative options.
Can it really be true that SUP is for everyone?
Many people mistakenly think they can't keep their balance on a SUP board. Or maybe they're not sporty enough to participate. We have 13 years of experience with SUP teambuilding events and have had thousands of guests on a SUP board over the years. We do our utmost to take care of all participants and have yet to experience disappointed customers.
So it's not about be the best or fastest, but to evolve individually and as a team, and most importantly have fun. The activities take place near shallow water and the beach, so everyone can feel safe.
Safety and security
All our instructors are certified and trained under the Danish Sailing Union and the Danish Surf & Rafting Association / ISA. This ensures both good events and high safety on the water.
Do you need to strengthen unity as these companies?
Questions we often get
In general

We have 2+1 showers indoors and 4 outdoor showers with both hot and cold water.
Yes, we can lock up smaller valuables and larger items can be stored in our office. Storage is at your own risk.
There is free 3-hour parking all along Fiskerivej. There is also paid parking within walking distance at Navitas and DOKK1 to Surf Agency - and the light rail also runs right past.
Bring your own swimwear and towels - we'll take care of the rest 🙂
SUP
You need to bring your own swimwear (to wear under your wetsuit) and a towel if you want to shower afterwards.
Yes - you have to. Wetsuit (and other neoprene gear is included in the price). On hot days, you can keep your wetsuit open and possibly down around your waist - but everyone wears a wetsuit and life jacket.
Right. We stay close to shore, wear wetsuits, lifejackets and safety leashes, but the water is deep and can be cold.
You can do it - if you're unsure you can stay on your knees and it's always ok to skip some exercises. We can show you another way to get on the board that is more optimal when you're pregnant. It's up to the pregnant woman how much she wants to participate - please give us a call and let's talk about it if you have any concerns.
In the vast majority of cases, you can easily participate in stand up paddle - and you are always welcome to skip some exercises or take it easy. Always let your instructor know if there is anything that needs attention. If you're very nervous about water or have other issues, it's a good idea to come down before an event to check things out and then it can be an advantage to book a private course - so we can do things on your terms.
SUP is a great activity for children and families. Children can typically paddle their own board from around the age of 8, but some can do it earlier. Smaller children can sit on the board in front of their parents when they are a little older, possibly with their own paddle so they can help out and get a feel for paddling and steering. We recommend that parents have tried SUP before taking children out on their own. We offer family courses where an instructor will be with you to ensure safety and fun and give advice on paddling with children.
If you've previously rented a board from us or attended our 2.5-hour SUP course, you don't need to get our quickie intro - you get two hours of board hire instead. If you've been on a bachelor party, team building or have NOT paddled with us before, you MUST have a quickie intro - so we know that you know about safety and where you can paddle and if you've tried SUP before, we can talk a little bit about technique and we can show you some fun tricks.
Alcohol and water sports are a very bad combination, so we don't allow you to drink before you get on the water - that's why we recommend that Stand Up Paddle events are organised as early in the day as possible. If you arrive drunk, you will not be allowed on the water and you will not be compensated in that situation.
During our Outdoor Wellness you may have had a few drinks beforehand, but we expect our guests to behave properly and follow the instructions of our staff.
See our terms and conditions here:
Depending on which SUP activity you have booked, there are different programmes.
Regardless of the event type, we start slowly with some information on land about how to steer and paddle, then we get on the water and start briefly practising steering while kneeling - then we get up and do some more control exercises.
For Stand Up Paddle Teambuilding events, Group Events and Bachelor Party events, there will be different games, exercises and challenges - it can be surfing turns, racing, relays, cooperation exercises, ball games (SUP Polo), yoga exercises, fitness exercises and other things - we have a programme that fits the event - but we can adapt it to the group as desired and often along the way.
SUP courses at Surf Agency include a review of paddling technique, what to look out for in terms of safety, wind and weather, equipment and then we do rescue exercises, paddle a good trip and give you some different challenges to work on.
Smaller groups (up to 6 people) can rent boards and head out on their own after a short instruction. For larger groups, we require an instructor with you - this provides better safety and our instructors can help you set different challenges to accommodate any differences in level and make it fun for everyone.
The times given (2 hours for team building, 1.5 hours for stag parties etc) are from arrival until you are back on land. We recommend that you arrive 10 minutes before - and when everyone has arrived, you will be given wetsuits and can change. The time you spend showering and changing after we are back on land is not included.
Booking
When you send us an enquiry for an event at Surf Agency, you select the maximum number of participants - that way we are sure to have enough equipment and instructors. You then have the option to change the number of participants up to 7 days before the event - whereby the balance is also changed and paid. This way you don't need to know the final number of participants until 7 days before the event.
We prefer to pay in advance so we don't have to spend time on the day when we'd rather spend time on the water 🙂
A booking is considered confirmed upon payment of the deposit, so it's also so we can make sure you show up. If EAN payment or payment on the day is important, we will find a solution 🙂
There is no such thing as bad weather - only bad clothing 😉
We organise group events, teambuilding and bachelor party events for a minimum of 4 people and so far we have had 90 people on the water at the same time. We have the opportunity to make different solutions if you are over 40 people.
We have different packages with a good discount built in, so the more you book the better the deal.
When you book group events with Surf Agency, you do not need to know the final number of participants until 7 days before the event. Within 7 days of the event, we can add more participants if we have the capacity to do so. We do not give refunds if there are fewer participants than stated 7 days before the event.
Yes - we can do that. All our instructors are fluent in English, we also have a few instructors who can teach in German and Spanish if needed 🙂
When you pay the deposit, we enter into a binding agreement. It is therefore not possible to get your money back if you later wish to cancel. Together we can find a solution to move the event to a later date if it is not possible for you to hold it at the time booked.
