Black Light Paddles

Today we pre-paddled the race course for this year’s ”Femmans multisport race” to check the time planning. The Firebolt behaved very well and it was a lovely day on the lake ”Surtesjön”.

Today we tried the surfski ”Fusion” from Nordic Kayaks. A very pleasant, comfortable, fast AND beautiful creation!

Back in Scotland, Rowland paddled today to the Garvellachs (an island group in the Firth of Lorn).   After a day spent visiting the monastery and monks’ beehive cells, and seeing otters and sea eagles, the way home was enlivened by coming across a basking shark, leisurely feeding off one of the small headlands. Another Black Light adventure!

Sneaking around the corners of ”Stora Rösö”…   It´s getting dark, but outside the next bay, the 36 knot wind, in cooperation with the sea, is generating nice surf in the mysterious evening light.   And yes, it is very nice to surf with the Black Light Sharp One as well!

Today we had a day of towing, rescues and rocky landings. Ulrika gave us a lunchtime cat walk show – displaying the latest in ”I-want-to-raise-my-body-temperature-NOW-fashion”. A great, rewarding day!

Yesterday we were out on night navigation. The black archipelago offered disco with the folks of bioluminescence dancing our front decks. It was flat calm and just lovely! Today we prepare for a trip to Nidingen – an offshore island south west from Gothenburg. The Black Light Storm Paddle will get wet.

The Black Light Sharp One is now available in a two-piece version. We fit Lendal’s well-proven Paddlok system and you get a tight and discreet joint.
You ask – Can I get a three-piece Black Light Sharp One?
We say – Everything is possible!

Black Light Paddles congratulates Jacob Fröslee Johnsson, who finished Orust Runt as the fastest competitor with a Greenland paddle. (He  also beat many paddlers using wing paddles.)  There were 102 competitors in the 99km+ race and Jacob finished 1oth with his Black Light Sharp One. Well done Jacob!

Yesterday we had our last day on the water for this week in Scotland. Today was bonus! We went on a morning play in Falls of Lora. The race was fast and (but) flat, and we got a nice session working on fundamental behavior in moving water. It doesn´t have to be at it´s biggest… but next time we´ll definitely time it to have some more.

A positive approach will help!

Ready to go in to town for lunch and shopping!
