Why Should Everyone Experience Suursoudut?
Sulkavan Suursouduissa arjen kiireet unohtuvat. Fiilis on yhtä aikaa kepeä ja kunnianhimoinen, kun hyväntuulinen kannustus, henkeäsalpaavat maisemat ja voitontahto saattelevat soutajia eteenpäin. Maaliintulon riemu ja itsensä ylittämisen tunne on jotain, mitä ei voi sanoin kuvata – se on koettava itse.
Kuten Sulkavan Suursoutujen soutulähettiläs Minna Nieminenkin sanoo, jokaisen suomalaisen tulisi kokea Sulkavan Suursoudut ainakin kerran elämässään.
Eikä vain siksi, että Suomi on tuhansien järvien maa.
Vaan siksi, että Suursoudut on ainutlaatuinen tapahtuma, jossa yhdistyvät fyysinen haaste ja luonnon kauneus. Saimaan luonto kapeine salmineen ja kallioisine rantoineen on vesiltä käsin katsottuna upea kokemus, ja jos hyvä tuuri käy, voit bongata myös saimaannorpan!
Parasta on kuitenkin yhteishenki: yhdessä tekeminen ja yhdessä kokeminen ovat niitä asioita, jotka tekevät tapahtumasta ikimuistoisen.
At Sulkava Suursoudut, the stresses of daily life fade away. The atmosphere is a unique blend of lighthearted fun and ambitious determination, as cheerful encouragement, breathtaking landscapes, and a drive to succeed propel rowers forward.

As Sulkava Suursoudut’s rowing ambassador Minna Nieminen says, every Finn should experience Sulkava Suursoudut at least once in their lifetime.
Not just because Finland is the land of a thousand lakes. But because Suursoudut is a one-of-a-kind event that combines physical challenge with natural beauty. Lake Saimaa’s narrow straits and rocky shores offer a stunning perspective from the water, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a Saimaa ringed seal!
