On the rocks!

On the rocks!

Long time no blog. Greetings from a beatiful, but ice cold, Baltic Sea. Kayaking in the mid winter can be pretty rough or like this day…just a walk in the park.

Cheers!

Anglesey, Wales

Anglesey, Wales

S.G.U did go to Anglesey for some fun paddling and testing some new stuff from Duem. Anglesey is pretty close to heaven for seakayakers…fantastic big water and good ale on the “office” (the bar were the locals spend there time).

In Holy Head we did pic up kayaks from Rockpool and from there we did go staight to Penrhyn Mawr, thats a classic playspots for tideal race.

Getting colder

Getting colder

Home after a great show on Kanomesse in Germany. The water getting colder here in Finland now so the new Hellrider-dryjacket will be used from now. 

On friday Team S.G.U will go to Wales for some serious seakayaking and we will bring some of the latest DUEM gear there…we will sure try the jackets and the spraydecks as hard as possible in the big “washing machine” in Cornwall and Anglesey! Ride on!

Paddling from Finland to Sweden

Paddling from Finland to Sweden

We did paddle from Eckerö (Åland, Finland) to Märket Lighthouse (on the boarder between Finland and Sweden) last weekend. Märket island is the windiest place in Finland, but we got lucky and was able to complete the full tour without problem.

cheers,
