    CE-godkänd flytväst för forspaddling

    there isnt anything for white water specifically From the best of my knowledge there is a basic set of EEC tests / rules for life jackets, but nothing specific for white water, but its at least a good start. In general use common sense and look at what professional paddlers are using, they...

    Val av paddel

    can differ Hi Anders, the shafts from Robson are heated and squeezed to give an oval grip, I have altered a few in the past for those who want a more defined grip by either re heating them or splitting the paddle and putting an indicator under shrink wrap, also some are more defined from the...

    Paddling i Kroatia

    Its OK but... Croatia, is more ideal for sailing than kayaking, I have done both. Sailing because of thhe many long islands that give shelter in rough conditions along the coast. For kayaking there are few places to land on these islnds, and where you can in summer will be crowded. The coast...

    Do you need a paddler or we need a runner for ÅEC?

    Hi everyone, had a team lined up for ÅEC but our runner had unexpectedly a family funeral the evening before ÅEC, so, either I need to find a team in search of a paddler or a runner who wants to join our team. Our MTBiker is 50/50 on the race as he has had a bad cold over the last weeks...

    Fiska och ankra

    correct Thure is correct, I assume you mean slow moving currents, nothng that would be assumed to be strong enough to creat problems as Thure suggests. The way to set it up is with a line over the cleat fitting in the front of the kayak, this keeps the nose into the wind or current, then you...

    Fiska och ankra

    anchor I havent tried it myself yet, but the new Riot kayaks are made to hang a anchor off the bow, this is ideal when in light currents or when it is windy and you wnat to stay in that place. Suggest buying a light anchor from Biltema for example, they are dead cheap and ony 1/2-1 kg from...

    Kodiak eller Reval

    90 kg = Kodiak Hi Ronny, from your weight and description I suggest you try all three models if possibe, but generally the Kodiak sounds the ticket of the two Prijon models, you can pack an incredible amount in this model and it still performs well. This is proven by Renata Chlumska and Barbro...

    Tips på låswire

    tips Eckla have a wire ideal for locking kayaks where you leave one end in the door or rear hatch/ boot or fix with a lock to example the rails on the roof. Its a good system but still mostly a deterant for a determinbed thief with a good set of bolt cutters. Prijon, Gagasport and other brands...

    glid i vatten

    UV No problem Hi Jörgen, When they make the hull there are 4 components, Base material, Color, recycled material and UV stabiliser. So your kayak is well protected from when its born. Comming from New Zealand where we have extremely high UV levels and being a close friend to the Priojon agent...

    glid i vatten

    ingen Hej Jörgen, there is no real need to wax your HTP kayak, it wont have any benefit and often turns out to be a mess ( I have seen pictures from some who have). If its for a better cosmetic look I have seen people use wood polish as it replaces the lost oils on the very surface. But I...

    Vilken storlek på flytvästen bör jag välja ?

    Medium Hi Ola, a medium should be ideal, how ever if it is the wrong size most dealers or post order services that deal with us will exchange it for a smaller or larger size. Most important in my experience is that it fit well, I wear a Large and weight 90+ kg, I have on occasion worn a...

    kajaksemester vid medelhavet

    turkey or greece Goran is quite right, Croatia is famous for its coast mostly from a sailing point of view, I have sailed and kayaked a good portion of croatia´s coast the last years. There are few beaches and what beaches there are they tend to be more stony than any sand. Just finding a good...

    Tips ang Trapper Baltic

    Forums are great ... 20 years on the river working with safety, in a dozen different countries, I think I should know what I am talking about? If you look all around the world where there are safe races like this held every weekend, you will see the same rules. Ok if I allow all types of...

    Tips ang Trapper Baltic

    Hmmmm Hej Hans, considering you are employed by Trapper, its not very diplomatic for you to write "På slätvattnet är förstås kajaken betydligt snabbare än dom polyetenbaljer som är vanliga i ÅEC.", as a Prijon Barracuda ( one of ÅEC most popular models ) slaughters this kayak definitely and a...

    Hur polera upp plastkajak?

    Furniture polish Hi, to help clean up the finish on the plastic try first using a little furniture polish, I suggest trying a small area first to see nothing happens that shouldent. It will replace the oil that has disappeared from within the plastic surface and will help make it look new...
