Reply to comment by Katerpilet in Nietzsche is better understood as the Father of Psychoanalysis than Existentialism; his philosophy has two components: the diagnosis of our culture's Decadence (under the Ascetic Ideal) and a prescription for health in the Dionysian Counter-Ideal by thelivingphilosophy
the translations did not exist in German in Nietzsche's active lifetime, although there is speculation that he may have heard of Kierkegaard's ideas second hand through friends who were known to be well acquainted with him

They're a lot less different than you'd think. Nietzsche wants you to become God, Kierkegaard wants you to look within and find God already there
Neither Kierkegaard nor Nietzsche would suggest that one "paddles with the current", both suggest a revolt against modern man to become something neither modern nor past
