Silje Skorve
Kayak
I've been paddling and hanging out with Silje for the last few years. Silje is always excited to get out into the outdoors and do something, whether it is kayaking, snow boarding, hiking, surfing or climbing. She cannot stay cooped up inside for very long and when she does get out she just goes and goes and goes. It's soo much fun being out on the river with her. The love for kayaking and her enthusiasm just shines through whether it is on cruisy class I or a full on class V rapid. Silje has paddled all over Norway, in New Zealand, Costa Rica, Uganda, Ecuador, South Korea, Nepal, Canada and the USA. She has participated in Extremsport Veko for 8 years, often helping organize the kayaking (and rafting) portion. Silje is a well known paddler in both the Bergen and Voss whitewater scenes and in the summer you are most likely to find her on one of her favorite rivers in Voss.
