Leif Juhl just launched a new Black Pearl, to complement Annies that have been admired on kayak meetings for some time now. As expected exceptionally well built!

"Hello Björn.

Finally came the day when my BP tasted salt water for the first time. Grey skies and a light rain could not spoil the fun in launching yet a lovely kayak.

Skallberget, Haverdal

I gårdagens Hallands Nyheter fanns en artikel om Skallberget i Haverdal, i vars skugga jag tillbringade en rätt stor del av barndomen, och som jag målat av i otaliga akvarellbilder i olika årstider och ljus- och väderförhållanden.

Några bilder ur arkivet...

Skallberget från sydost
Skallberget i Haverdal - de magnifika resterna av intensiv stenhuggeriverksamhet under 1900-talets första decennier. Det var en sport att klättra upp för klippans alla sidor - naturligtvis utan föräldrars tillstånd eller vetskap. Den värsta var västsidan - närmare 10 meter hög vertikal klippvägg med småsprickor för fingrar och tår. Akvarell, augusti 1990, 440x300 mm

Mats i Hudik

Det är nästan lite surrealistiskt att komma in efter en fika i ett soligt hörn av trädgården bland vintergäck, scilla och krokus, och hitta Mats mail med bilder från en paddeltur i norrländska vårvintervatten. Meteorologiskt har visst våren hunnit till Östergötland.

Tjena Björn.
Skickar några bilder från en fin vårvinterpaddling här i Hudiksvalls skärgård.
Vi paddlade runt Bålsön, ca 14 km, som ligger nordost om Hudiksvall. Det var en solig fin vårdag med viss is att passera.

Hälsningar
Mats Nording

Black Pearl - Lindqvist

Magnus i ny Black (white) Pearl

"Hej Björn!

Idag kunde jag helt enkelt inte hålla mig längre, var bara tvungen att lägga i den nya kajaken för att se hur hon uppförde sig i vattnet.

Rast Lundåkrabukten
David på stranden i Lundåkrabukten

Lördag var David på besök från Tranås (kajakbyggare med en Black Pearl och en snart färdig Njord). Vi sjösatte i Vikhög och paddlade norrut – jag i pärlan och David i min Njord, i härligt vårväder: sol bakom en tunn molnslöja, 7-8 grader varmt och nästan vindstilla – förbi ett tyst och släckt kärnkraftverk och en sväng inom Barsebäcks hamn.

Nya Black Pearl med mera...

upp-och-nervänd stilstudie

I Tranås Badhus fick häromdagen Petrus nya Black Pearl (konverterad till plywood stitch-and-glue) sitt premiärdopp. Den flöt snyggt på konstruktionsvattenlinjen och rollade precis som sig bör – här med mäster själv vid paddeln.

Expedition to the origins of the wind

The are a lot of myths about winds, ancient and new – about the hole to another dimension where all the winds come from, about the flying dutchman, the mythical ghost ship that sails against the wind and shows itself randomly around the world on its eternal journey without goal or reason.

The origin of all winds

Ann-Kristin and Black Pearl

Via Wenley I found this roll video, where Ann-Kristin rolls her red Black Pearl in a pool. Ann-Kristin and Morten ordered plans in April 2008, built their BP:s, practiced Greenland rolling, and did it so well that she in the rolling competition at the Stocken symposium in August came third with impressive 240 points! This after a year of paddling - life is not fair...


Ann-Kristin ruller from Bjørn Bergenheim jr on Vimeo.

The last rolls is performed in an Anas Acuta.

More rolling videos from Bjørn Bergenheim:
Pål Gustad (who won the aforementioned competition)
More of Ann-Kristin Skinlo (perhaps an indication of what it takes to be a rolling champion...)

Sjösättning Salviken

Det har blivit väldigt lite paddlat på den här sidan om årsskiftet, så det var riktigt skönt att få blöta ner kajaken och mig några timmar i söndags. Sjösättning i Salviken mellan Vikhög och Barsebäck och en tur söderut mot Lomma i 4-5 m/s frånlandsvind och ungefär 3 grader plus i luften och 2 i vattnet.
