In late spring me and my friend Sebastian went for a trip along the German west coast. Our route was always changing between the chain of island in front of the coast and the inner wadden sea. We where quite lucky with the weather except a three days period of thunder storms. Here are some pictures of that trip. My boat of choise was the Quest with it´s high volume for long touring and nice beahvior in more interesting waters.

Happy 2008 to all of my fellow paddlers! Sorry I have been a little absent on the Blog this winter and it appears that my fellow bloggers have been as well. I have been on the water just as much as always (3 to 5 days a week) and I’ve had my hands full with opening another Kayak Store in Rocklin, CA. Penguin Paddlers Pro Shop - Rocklin
I am very excited for 2008 and I think this will be the best year for the kayaker & kayak industry ever. Read the rest of this entry »
A group of us got together for a sunny weekend in October and paddled out to Longships from Sennen Cove then round to Porthgwarra. Longships is the lighthouse that sits off Lands End, UK which is the Southwestern most point of England. Cracking 2 days including a night paddle and a trip further up the coast into Boscastle.
I drove with my two friends Cathrin and Carsten up to northern Norway. We spent 9 days paddling in a fascinating sea of mountais. A truely amazing place! The only paddlers we met where from Britain! Liz and Simon Willis…
I have just returned from paddling The Outer Hebrides in Northwest Scotland. The paddling was great, being away from the media and family and friends always gives a perspective that you can’t really get at home.
Living in the countries we do we are very lucky to have the free time and money to be able to have such a great recreational pastime.
Anticipation was building as we pulled into Grand Marais Michigan for the Great Lakes Sea Kayak Symposium. The wind had been blowing out of the north all day and conditions looked good for picking up some rare summertime surfing on the big lake. Superior did not disappoint, we got a few hours of good surf time in playing the reflecting waves off the big breakwater at the west end of the harbor entrance. Read the rest of this entry »
Somewhere in there is my friend Marius.  We were out surfing in light 2-4ft conditions, and as things started to die, we decided to search for some excitement at the base of our local cliffs.   As you can see, we (or more appropriately, he) found it!   Â
It’s a little less streamlined than the rest of the P&H fleet, but according to Ben Lawry, the Kelly Blades Inflatable Man-Yak is “fun to paddle, responsive, and surprisingly gentle.” Read the rest of this entry »
