    Frej – Marcel Rosefort

    “Hi Björn, Finally I have build the M-version.Thaanks for designing a really fine kayak!  I used it with Paulownia resulting in 16kg. Frej turns extremly quick, is really fast and rolls very easy (from beginners point of view). I build the skeg constructed by Nick Schade (Guillemot-kayaks)  in a little bit lengthened version. Kind regardsMarcel”

  • Havskajakendag

     Havskajakendag  Havskajakensdag startades av Jim Danielsson 1984 och paddlas alltid sista söndagen i oktober, samma dag som det blir vintertid.

(igen brådska utan vi försöker hålla ihop gruppen) Tider: Start vid 08:00…

    Där ingen plog kan gå och där ingen lie kan slå – där ska hus stå

    Ligger mycket i detta citatet: Där ingen plog kan gå och där ingen lie kan slå – där ska hus stå Förr byggde man hus där det var krångligt att odla och svårt eller omöjligt att ha djur. Nu bygger vi där det är enklast och plattast… och verkar ha glömt bort att vi behöver…

Gött tjöt och fika hanns också med. En fråga som ställdes var; varför är det så få paddlare som vill kajakbada? Jag tycker nog det är ännu konstigare…
