Norway, seen from the sea. Not the worst place to own a kayak:)

[aleksander]

Hello fellow padlers and anglers over at the other side of the big lake:)

Time for a new report from up north. Summer has finally reached Norway and the Malibu X-Factor have been tested and approved for norwegian waters.

Have fished everything from Ling and Garfish to Seatrout and Sprat, seen nature close up, and irritated a family of otters.

Have not installed the flushmounted rodholders yet, still looking for the right ones. And I am not completly sure where to mount them. I will also start flyfishing from the yak, so I need two more holders.

Finally bought a camera that can survive in the norwegian weather. So here are some of the houndres of pictures taken the last couple of months, with some comments.
