My paddle story

I lost my legs two years ago in a worksite accident. I was lucky I survived. Today I am left with two stumps, ending mid-thigh, something that has made it difficult to have good prosthetics made. At Sunnaas, a rehabilitation centre, I learned to be self-sufficient in a wheelchair. I have a car that has been adapted, and that has helped me reclaim a more independent life.

Kanumesse offers a platform for every area of paddling sport. Manufacturers from all over the world maintain and build their international relationships at the Kanumesse. SeaBird Designs will be there with entire line of products, including three exciting new recreational kayaks: Fisherman 12, Lunar 12 and Ranchero 12 and 2 new models from Sport/Fitness range:

Three new models Fisherman, Lunar, Ranchero are available now on the market. Please check with your local dealer.

This Saturday-Sunday (Aug 20-21) Björn Thomasson will be at the Kano og Kajakværkstedet to talk about the Greenland style kayaks he has designed for Seabird design (Sea Pearl, Black Pearl and Qanik), and teach classes in using them.

A year ago an attempt to circumnavigate Svalbaard in kayaks ended in a near-fatal accident when a polar bear attacked and severely injuried one of the paddlers.

Fylkir Þorgeir Sævarsson, an Icelander in Denmark, elite open water swimmer and cyclist, got the idea of circumnavigating Denmark in a kayak – the Red-White-Ribbon – faster than anyone before.
