I bought a sea kayak, World of kayaks WK 500. Test on the water at the shop and first river paddle.

Beautiful Yak, love the colour, I'm sure you will get many hours of pleasure from it. Tip for you when your on the river and there's no wind if you have the rudder up you will find it runs better.

[@danerik.westerlind]

Thanks! 😍Yes, I also love the color, blue is a favorite. So far I'm happy with it. Thanks for the tips, I will try that!🙌🤗

[@PaddleAdventurer]

I love that you got a solid kayak! Excited to see what adventures you get up to with it 🤩

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@PaddleAdventurer Thanks😍 So far I’m happy with the kayak. I hope it will be amazing adventures with it🙌

What a lovely kayak, with that chisel bow and long straight waterline it will be very fast.

[@danerik.westerlind]

Thanks, so far I'm very happy.😍 Needed to translate chisel, I agree about that. It´s very light driven and it feels like I don´t need to put so much energy to paddle in a good touring speed.🙌 I only do calm water, so I think this is the right kayak. But it feels stable, so it might work in your conditions too.🤗

[@davidpoots8362]

The outfitting seems to be for fast touring on a lake, perfect fpr you ​@danerik.westerlind

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@davidpoots8362 yes🙌

[@AirOnTheWater]

Congratulations on the new kayak! 🙂 Also, it was nice to note that you also find it easier to go paddling WITH a paddle rather than without 😂

[@danerik.westerlind]

Thanks, so far I like it very much!😍 Yes, sometimes it´s easier with a paddle to do a paddle.😂

[@AirOnTheWater]

@@danerik.westerlind I suppose it can be!

Hello, really a nice "Machine". Although I don΄t like kayak, I feel bored like I am in jail.

[@danerik.westerlind]

Yes a really nice kayak🙌 What paddle craft do you prefer?🤔

[@didierplouhinec4899]

Now you understand everything I told you before.

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@didierplouhinec4899 thanks, you been very helpful!🤗

Should have tried a surfski. Much better than sea kayaks and so much more fun.

[@danerik.westerlind]

@@MrKenny1914that was the plan from the beginning to find a surf ski with good storage and a kick up rodder in the back. But then I tried the sitting comfort was bad for me and because the seat are molded I can’t change it. Otherwise a surf ski is very nice.🤗

Wow! Another new toy! I think Erika needs a sea kayak too. This reminded me of a fantastic sea kayaking trip I went on in 2015. This was long before I got cancer. I wouldn't have the energy or the guts to do this today. If you're interested there is an 8 minute KZbin video of the trip. Maps at the end. I am "seen" at 0.29 and 3.36. It made me sad to think that I'm so "past it" now. I hope you enjoy watching. Here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3Lac36tpMxlacksi=j73oyBIdqv2JM2Rr

@@janets3549 what an amazing paddle, rough water and beautiful scenery, loved to watch the video!😍 My health also hinder me from things but I change and find other things to do that I enjoy. But as you say I sometimes also get sad over things I can’t do. I have already said to Erika to buy a kayak but she say no. So I guess this will be hers when I buy a new kayak, that’s the way it normally goes for us.😂
