Experience

Community route — exact launch/finish unverified

Hazards

Cold-fjord course whose public record does not name either endpoint. Do not use the fjord-center pin as an entry; establish launch, landing, marine traffic, wind shadows and rescue with local riders.

“Public leaderboard records two completed SUP-foil runs named Gandsfjord. Fjord-center pin only because the route endpoints are not named on the public listing. Requested-field batch 04 verified 2026-08-01: guide/resource labels and hazards use cited row evidence; exact, nearby and route-endpoint relationships are explicit; unresolved fields remain Unknown.”
