I tried the sauna for the first time at this place but the second time was during my entire life.

I was here with my best friend Anders and we had cathrine as our instructor.

She was 10/10 out of 10. A fantastic instructor. Great views. Great energy and atmosphere throughout the entire course. What more could you ask for?.

It was like I had hoped that it would be.

10/10 in terms of experience and perfect with a view of Aarhus Ø/the harbor.

Although the locker room isn’t the most optimal place to take a shower, there is still the option to get changed and have your valuables stored, as well as 3 hours of free parking, so there’s really nothing to complain about.

I will definitely come back
Cathrine as a teacher can definitely be recommended.
Lovely surroundings and nice facilities. However, the gusmester did not seem interested in being present and the different sessions were also shorter than stated.
We rented Surf Room from Surf Agency for a school anniversary. Truly a lovely space in a building overlooking the harbor area in Aarhus. We felt a lovely casual atmosphere and we have rarely met such sweet and helpful staff. A huge thank you from us. Click in and see what else they have to offer..... looks super cool 🙂
Truly a wonderful oasis, a delicious and relaxing gus. Good changing facilities. The staff always have a really good energy that helps to give the place the right vibe.
Super good hosting. Nice sauna and wilderness bath.
A bit awkward with the fire, which smelled very much of pine trees, small thing.
But overall very recommendable
Mega cozy
Good facilities. Pleasant atmosphere. The place can definitely be recommended.
We had a wonderful sauna gus with Salma as the sauna master! It was so cool and a wonderful way to start the day!! There were changing rooms and a shower and a free “bar” with water, electrolytes and juice!! Such a wonderful experience
We had a fun and lovely experience on SUP.
With lots of really fun games and good instruction before we went out to ski.
Selma was a really good guide. Very personal, sweet and dedicated. She gets our warmest recommendation.
Really cosy with sauna and wood-fired hot tub with great service.
It was a lovely place and the staff were simply the sweetest people I've ever met! Would give them 10 stars if I could.
Great saunas, exceptional service and the atmosphere was top-notch!
Response from the owner:Wow, thanks for your kind words, Nicholas! 🙏
Really a great first-time experience on a SUP board with Michael - thank you very much for it! 🙏🏻
Mega cool with the cold plunge pool and electrolytes during the break. However, there were several times during the Aufguss where me and my friend were actually freezing (we were sitting right at the top). In future, perhaps the theme could be written in the description so you aren't disappointed by the temperature level. For 160 kr., it's a shame to freeze inside the sauna.
Response from the owner:Hi William Thank you very much for your feedback. It is really unfortunate to hear that you had a cold experience in the sauna. Normally, Julie runs very hot saunagus sessions, and I actually asked both her and some of the other guests that day, all of whom felt that the temperature was high. However, that obviously doesn't change the fact that you didn't have the same experience. May I ask where you were sitting in the sauna? Of course, there can also be a big difference in how hot people want it and how they experience the heat. Perhaps you simply prefer the extremely hot saunagus sessions, and in that case it is naturally a great shame if our gus didn't live up to your expectations. We have actually also updated our schedule so that you can now always see how hot each individual saunagus session will be – either 2 or 3 flames – making it easier to choose the session that best suits your preferences. We would really love to give you a new experience and hope you feel like giving us another chance. If you come back, we would like to offer you 2-for-1 on a saunagus session. And please do write to me afterwards and let me know if it was more in line with what you had hoped for 🙏
Cool Gus master
Mega cosy place with cool cold plugs and good aufguss plus a lovely view
Outstanding atmosphere, team, and extremely high professionalism and passion 🤙
Really cosy place and surroundings as well as friendly staff 🫶
Brilliant experience, would definitely recommend
Lovely place and a good instructor 🙂
Really a wonderful day on the water. Good instruction and otherwise plenty of freedom to head out. Nice that there is the opportunity for a swim
We booked a SUP event for our team at Inspari and it was a fantastic experience. Michael was a great host — super chill and made sure everyone had a good time. The weather was on our side too, which made it even better. Would highly recommend this for other companies looking for a fun team activity!
Everything as it should be! You get a good introduction before you go out and everyone is friendly
12 very satisfied lads. People were surprised at how brilliant it was - a definite recommendation for the boys' group wanting to get out and have fun!
My female friend and I went on a SUP intro course and were met with good energy and knowledgeable guidance. We left with a great experience and the right tools to venture out onto the SUP board ourselves in the future. Thanks for a wonderful day!
I had the most wonderful start to my Saturday with saunagus. Emil guided us through the gus with fantastic music and great scents - with the heat turned right up. So lovely!!
A thoroughly wonderful experience. I would highly recommend 100%. Lovely people and great chefs.
We had a fantastic morning on the water facilitated by Surf Agency.
We received a short, thorough and competent introduction to SUP before we were allowed to paddle off on our own.
They were really sweet and welcoming!
That was the most brilliant experience - first but definitely not the last time on a SUP.
We had a great stag do event with SUP, it was a really fun experience and we were well instructed while also having space to just have fun. Highly recommended!
Amazing day on the water with premium service from Finja. Thank you for a great experience!
We had a super cosy trip in the hot tub. The host fetched drinks and almonds. And time flew by 😊
We had a company event last Friday, we had great fun! The service was great and the instructions from Michael were clear (he's got a great sense of humour too 😂).

Would totally recommend this place for a company event, super chilled with the wilderness bath and sauna as well ❤️
An absolutely fantastic experience! Our gus master was brilliant and really brought our après-ski theme to life 😍
A lovely place to unwind 👌
The sauna was very comfortable, and the atmosphere was calm and impressively clean.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish.
A truly great experience, and I will definitely come back again 🌊🔥
Lovely club, sweet people, a wonderful place to stand on a supboard and enjoy a sauna infusion.
Biggest recommendation from here ☀️🌊🏄‍♀️
What a wonderful Aufguss and Nanna was truly skilled and very welcoming.
MEGA FAT! WOW! DO IT!
You get everything you could hope for 😀 Lovely saunas with essential oils guided by super staff. During breaks you can get something refreshing and dip yourself in a cold water pool as needed. Super centrally located with a view of Aarhus Ø. Definitely worth a visit. Not the last time I'll be there!
Simply awesome! Emily (casting director) was great at facilitating everything so you could relax and enjoy the experience 🤌
Great experience at the bachelorette party 🙏🏽🥳

Great service 👏🏽
Fantastic sweet patient instructor ❤️
We had a really good bachelor party event! Highly recommended, we had a great instructor 👍🏻 thanks for a great day 🇩🇰
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ To Surf Agency

Thank you for a fantastic team event. Everyone on the team had a great day, now with a backpack full of wonderful experiences together as a team.

Thank you for the 2 lovely employees who were with us on the water, they had planned the day just the way we wanted it. 👌
Amazing instructor ☺️
Good service, thorough introduction and very friendly staff 🙂
The great atmosphere and the employees' passion for what they do. Great place 🏄🏼‍♀️
Great place with happy and helpful staff, you won't regret it if you visit Surf Agency🤙🏼
Super cool experience to be on a SUP trip followed by a hot tub and sauna. Really nice instructors who you can tell are really passionate about the good experience. A big recommendation from here!
Fantastic place with great gear and skilled instructors. We were/are beginners and booked a board rental with quick instruction and had a great morning on the water. We hope to be back soon!
Fantastic place must definitely go there again😍😍😍
Went with my wife on a crash course + board hire.
It was a great experience and the staff were very experienced. The short course was enough to get started.
It was really good to sail along Risskov and relax a bit. However, we both felt some new muscles in our arms when we got home.
Highly recommended
Yes, I would like to recommend Surf Agency.
I've been on an intro course with a competent and skilled instructor. It was great fun and got everyone involved
Great place, highly skilled instructors, relaxed and hartfull atmosphere, great gear in a wonderful location that offers great possibilities for training, slow paddling and racing. Thumbs up ♥️👍
Julie and I had the best day with instructor Anne 😍 She was thorough, patient and fun to be with! Thanks for a great and educational course 👏🤗
Wonderful afternoon/evening in connection with a stag party. Sweet and helpful guides. Perfect activity!!!
My daughter and I had the most wonderful day on the water, even though it was a bit windy🙈. Big thanks to Martin for teaching us how to stand on sup. It was so cool and we would love to come again😊
The whole family went out and tried it for the first time! Our girls, aged 7 and 9, are totally hooked on it now! Thank you so much for showing us how cool stand up paddle is !!!! Big kudos to Michael for really getting the kids involved in the exercises! 🤟🏼👍🏼😀
A lovely place 🧡 cosiness and relaxation
Great fun😄😄😄🤙🏻 lovely afternoon with the fitness club
We had booked a family-owned boat with an instructor. It was a fantastic trip on the water with challenges for both young and old. Highly recommended.
My colleagues and I from Sympa A/S have been to Surf Agency twice within a month and it has been great fun both times. It won't be the last time we hit the harbour with them!
Both times we experienced dedicated trainers who challenged us with great exercises and laughed with and at us while we splashed around in the water;-)
Very big recommendations from here and happy summer to jer☀️
Good atmosphere, nice people who are good at helping. Have been there several times and bought vouchers for SUB so will definitely come again 😄🏄‍♀️
