On the 2nd of May I managed to take my new Fluid Element out to Nahoon reef for its second paddle EVER! The surf was good and the kayak was even better.
It manages to hold its line better than any boat I have ever paddled in the sea, but as soon you go for a spin it releases effortlessly. To initiate moves one has to carve hard to get release soon as you lift off it goes BIG.
This was also the first time I could test the new GOYA kayaking PFD and Reefs titanium wetsuit. More information on the jacket and the wetsuit will follow soon. To sum it up briefly, the PFD was very comfortable and secure and the value of kayaking in the new flexible neoprene wetsuit is very promising. I can't wait to share more.
Check out the gallery of the day. All the Photos were taken by Phillipa Reinders on a Fluid Synergy being paddled by Kelvin Rivett.
Good lines
