Surfing

Surfing in Lofoten is a fantastic activity for both beginners and experienced surfers! With dramatic mountains as a backdrop and crystal clear water, Lofoten offers some of the best surfing conditions in Norway. One of the most popular surfing beaches, Unstad, is about 35 minutes away from the hostel by car. The waves are at their best in the fall and winter, but it's possible to surf all year round - even in the midnight sun in summer! With a wetsuit, you won't notice that the water is at Arctic temperatures.

All equipment can be rented from Lofotensurfsenter, which also offers professional surfing instructors for all levels. As a guest at Stamsund Hostel you will have discount doing courses with Lofotensurfsenter!
