History:

After Kvæfjord Idrettslag was founded in 1919, its first ski jumping hill was Rødhammeren, where jumps of up to 42 meters could be made. From the early 1930s, the club also used Surnåsbakken (hill record 52.5 m in 1967).
Its largest hill, however, was Vikelandsbakken (also called Hunstadkollen), which was built in 1935. It was enlarged for the North Norwegian championships in 1949, when almost 4000 spectators saw Gunnar Mikkelsen set a hill record of 71 meters. Less than two months after the competition, the inrun tower fell down in a storm. The 25-meter-high tower was rebuilt and ready for use again in April 1951. After the hill was vandalized in 1964, the club's board proposed to close it down, but it was not approved by the members. A formal decision to close the hill was made in 1967, but the dilapidated remains of the inrun tower were still standing as late as 1978.
