Couldn’t help, but I needed to share those pond scum pics…it’s spring time! – It was fascinating to watch 100dreds of frogs doing what we all love to do – roll around and pile up!
I’ve got some new epic paddles!mid size wing with a med flex shaft to try, thanks for that!large epic shovel with the stiff blue shaft… 🙂 at least for modelling! And probably on serious long distance racing. And, to get anybody else who would like to try, started in the "wing feeling"… The new series […]
I was happy to meet Mark and Celeste Rodgers from Superior Kayaks at Canoecopia for the first time, as they were already generously providing me via web with their new carbon fibre split Greenland paddle. This will make my travels a lot more fun in future, as I loved this paddle ever since as a […]
…yes, I’m late again posting about Canoecopia, but sometimes there are things at home I need to work on first and which bring the money in…although I promise this was *tough* work, too, but still very pleasant… 7 hrs jetlag and 4 nights with very few sleep and talking all day long, this is how […]
The last treat of our UK-trip was to pick up my brandnew, sparkling “S”Explorer 2, which Nigel was so kind to replace against my old loved one. Thanks very much for that! The new one has 4 nicely recessed clamps, no bolts any more through the bulkheads. Looks like a great job! I didn’t post […]
A quick stop at the Rockpool factory, home of my sparkling black glitter Alaw Bach. Mike is doing well, dived deep into working on his great kayaks. But – he was well worth to be the first lucky guy to see at least a part (actually, only the jacket and a top…) of my new […]
Nick Cunliff and Jeff Allan taking a good sniff on my trolley… Next stop before Anglesey: A quick visit in Llanberis at Nick Cunliff’s surf lines shop, good to see that ol’ guy again after the Falls of Lora trip 🙂 – and just in case you might miss a proper paddling picture here: He’s […]
The master of art himself is ironing on his logo to my dress A range of lovely women is busy at his factory, sewing the popular Reed’s gear. Here, my new dress is getting the typical waterproof seem tape (a very important detail for surviving in the pool :-)) ) Everything well done, Chris? Greg […]
Travelling and transporting (spare) Greenland paddles will be a lot easier now! I’ve got the news from Celeste Rodgers from Superior Kayaks that they have now designed a two piece Crabon Greenland paddle. She put a press release on their website, but no proper picture yet. She told me it will be looking outside like […]
I’m glad to announce that with the great help of Derrick Mayoleth Greg Stamer and I will be able to hold a Greenlandic strokes and rolling session at the Baraboo Pool in Wisconsin/ USA. It’s a short 40 min drive from Canoecopia in Madison, so the session will start at 6pm after the show is […]
