Oscar Chalupski, epic kayaks co-owner, gives me a big hug and good luck for for my future adventures, for sure paddling again with a brand new epic wing blade.

…but Henrik, you did a great job! Flexible and elegant, I wish I had a video…

…anyway: head down! )

All sea kayakers know and value the IKEA-bag as a high-volume carrying device for all dry bags, bits and pieces on a trip, but a s a low volume folding-down bag to store on top of the hatch in the loaded boat (no, I didn’t bother with getting sponsored by those guys… )) )

I used the blue bag for years – every now and then affording to BUY a new one for an Euro (some guys who do carry *yellow* Ikea bags around haven’t *bought* them!!! ) )

  


The finished shiny, black new family member, nicely labelled with a fat "PROTOTYPE" sticker besides all company names…

… Anglesey Sea Kayak symposium 2007…a helicopter was in the air to demonstrate sea rescue…a rainbow colored helicopter was playing on the water, too…

 

 

 

The Stockentreffen this year proved to be again the "TO BE" event in Sweden!
Plenty of participants came to Stocken to share experience and "kayak talk".

I had the pleasure to pick up Wendy Killoran and René Seindal from Kopenhagen, who are going to paddle around Sicily and Sardinia this winter. Good luck to both!

The event started with a rolling demo, after I was already busy teaching 7 students Friday afternoon! 15 more students Saturday and Sunday followed…busy times.
