Norway calling, viking in a Malibu:) (http://www.akff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25905#p274707)
Hi there!
English is not my native language, so be nice...
About me:
One year from 30..
Skin/scuba-diving
Fishing
No kids, but a dog:)
Love music-Metal/rock, will probably install my IPOD on the kayak...
Working with the department of justice
Loves travelling, been to US, asia, Africa, most of europe.
Former military
Very social, always in a good mood.
Reading this forum and the australian http://www.akff.net/forum/ helped me to choose the kayak that I wanted.
So yesterday I ordered a Malibu X-Factor, this will be my first kayak ever. I will get it next weekend, and I am really looking forward to put it in use here on the norwegian westcoast.
On this map http://www.gulesider.no/kart/;jsessionid=eePcThzUL8g5LRrS9a#lat%3D6711725.22355 %26lon%3D285185.89958%26zoom%3D16%26layers%3D000B0 %26id%3Da_10000318031%26offset%3D0%26userLon%3D284 922.60688672983%26userLat%3D6711546.314289752%26ta b%3Daddress ( norwegian yellow pages) you can see where my cabin is, and the coast where i will mainly use the yak.
There are some very good sites for Seatrout and Hallibut in that area.
But i will also try to catch a lot of other species.
I also own a 19" Bella 572c with an outboard that I have been fishing from the last couple of years. Found out that a kayak had to be my next watercraft:).
Anyone been padling in Norway? any good advices for a beginner?
I will also use the yak as a platform for UW-hunting and scubadiving.
It will be delivered without rudder, so I have to see how I will manage.
I have read a couple of posts about rudders, but have not made a choice yet regarding rudder. The norwegian westcoast is windy....so I will probably install...
