Father and Son Kayak Fishing and Camping Trip Report, Norway and Sweden

Then it was time to go fishing with my son, Ivar.
After all the positive things that I told him about Wavewalk fishing kayaks, he was very curious. Then there was a 4 day trip on Foxen / Le Stora in Sweden.

Initial W500 Kayak Review, Eric Overdijk, Norway

So I went with my girlfriend and the W500 to the big river nearby and we tried the boat.
Paddling the boat was like walking on the water!!!
It was very easy to use the boat, like a child’s play. The boat responded very nicely to the waves in the middle of the river, it was very easy to take the boat where I wanted it, to keep it short, I am very enthusiastic about it, and I feel like using it a lot. It was fun to stand and feel safe in a kayak. Continue reading
