"Truely A Nordkapp Day"

 The start of a beautiful day trial for the Valley Sea Kayak The Nordkapp. Oct. 25th, 2008 an excellent way to start a day. Sun shining thru the autumn trees and happily anticipating a paddle.

"Nordkapp Trial, Torbay Newfoundland""

 I became interested in this boat after some research and asked a fellow NL paddler if I might be able to try his out. No problem and Malcom Rowe who has written reviews already on this topic, graciously allowed me to paddle for a few hours in one of his prize possessions. What A treat is all I can Say. This boat handles unbelievably well in worsening conditions as all the research will tell you but you won't believe until you actually try. Then you'll know what you've been miss'in!!

"Malcolm At Rest"

 Not often you get to see Malcolm in this state but being a seasoned paddler it is hard not to stay in motion. The conditions were perfect for trying the Nordkapp in Torbay today. What a delight to paddle so fine in fact that I almost forgot to take pictures. I actually was spending time daydreaming as I was paddling along. The boat handles so well it can lull you into different states of consciousness. The waters were choppy and there was a fair bit of rolling swell. The Nordkapp just shrugged it all off and pretty much handled itself.

"In Pursuit"

 Malcolm went whizzing by in the Romany and I pursued in the Nordkapp. What a fast boat. It was sweet of Malcolm to allow me to try one of his prize possessions, The Nordkapp. He just got a Nordkapp LV as well. Ya never know, I might get to try it as well.

"Roll'in"

 Ian watching John execute a roll. We did a few rolls today on the way in, the water is getting down there in temps though. The Nordkapp was fairly easy to roll and it is just an all around superb boat. Great paddling company as well.

"The Group"

 John Walsh "Johnny", Ian Fong "The Fong-Man", Malcol Rowe "Justise", Me "Paddlehands", Tony Roestenburg "Kuviatsuk". Another day another paddle, and a fun way to close out my Nordkapp trial. Totally love the boat so mine is on order.

"Tapper's Cove"

On the way to the take out point on Friday May 11th, 2007.
