Sea cows - a somewhat surpricing meeting in the shallow waters of Saltholm between Denmark and Sweden, A group (or is a school?) of cows some 400 meters from the shore, suspiciously scrutinizing us as we paddled by. Photo: Björn Thomasson

"Hi BjörnHere is, a bit late, a photo of the Hunter, I built together with Jon this winter.It turned out quite nice, thanks to a nice set of plans and a good design.It tracks quite well but is easy to turn, and rolling has never been this easy before, and in spite of that it is quite stable. My only concern is comfort during long tours. I could be a little more limber...Thanks a lot for all help Aron Johansson"

Fin kajak Aron! Är den byggd i mahogny?
Mvh Fredrik
Vackert Aron! Jag har paddlat min Hunter sedan våren 2007 och tycker jag sitter riktigt komfortabelt även vid långa turer. Det är väl i viss mån en fråga om tillvänjning.
Nu hör det till saken att jag har monterat fotstödet långt fram (för att underlätta vid roll), vilket medför att endast tårna gör kontakt vid paddling och det mesta av stödet tas via knän och lår.
Hälarna tenderar att halka omkring lite dock och jag ska testa med att limma fast en bit skumplast vid fotstödet.
