Norway calling, viking in a Malibu

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/;jsessi...6tab%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...
