Riding Tropical Storm Irene In The Stand Up Kayak

W kayak — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:05:26 +0000

Earlier today we took the W500 kayak to the beach at lake Massapoag, a 1 square mile lake in eastern Massachusetts, on the path of Irene – a tropical storm at that point in time.
The wind was blowing at 35 mph, with long gusts of up to 55 mph, beating the waters of this small lake to waves between 1 and 2 ft high.
Such waves are almost unnoticed when you’re paddling the W500, but paddling standing up against such powerful headwind isn’t easy, as you’ll see in this movie:

Can you jump up and down, and from side to side in the W500? -Absolutely!
Can you fall down with all your weight without losing balance at all, and rise to your feet instantly and with zero effort? -Absolutely!
-Watch this classic video and see for yourself:

The paddler in both videos is middle aged, non athletic, 6 ft tall (1.84 m), and weighs 200 lbs (90.7 kg)- He’s neither a small sized, lightweight guy, nor an athlete who just graduated from college.

The 28.5″ wide W kayak offers unrivaled stability – Much more than any other kayak, including extra wide ones, and even kayaks outfitted with outriggers.
What’s the technical explanation behind such unrivaled stability? –

True stand up paddling requires a kayak that fulfills a number of basic requirements. The W kayak is the only kayak offering true stand up paddling – Interested to learn more about stand up paddling? – Continue reading >>

Walk on Waves – New Website for W Kayaks Distributor in Norway and Sweden

W kayak — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:18:40 +0000

Congratulations to Eric Overdijk, Wavewalk Kayaks’ distributor in Norway and Sweden, who launched his website, called Walk on Waves.
Eric lives in Rakkestad, southeast of Oslo, which is close to the Swedish border. This enables him to offer live demos to both Norwegian and Swedish paddlers and anglers, who are looking for a kayak that makes sense.
Eric is an avid kayaker and angler, who spends every free moment he has fishing, paddling and camping. He became interested in Wavewalk kayaks after having realized that paddling regular old fashion kayaks was just too uncomfortable for him, and made him think mostly of his back pain, and want to get out of his kayak and stretch, rather than enjoy the trip.
