Fylkir Sævarsson is the very successful Icelandic paddler, elite open water swimmer and cyclist, who in 2012 and again this year became the Danish National Champion in Ocean Racing in Denmark and we are glad to announce that his success has been continuous as he recently became the winner of Tour de Gudenå 2013 in Denmark held on 13-14 September.
SeaBird has always been grateful for any beneficial tips from our customers and after having heard a lot of comments about that our Discovery should have deck ropes, we have taken this into account and can now confirm that SeaBird’s Discovery now comes with foredeck ropes. This adds the benefit to attach gear to the deck of a kayak or can be used as an aid for a swimmer to hold onto a floating kayak.
Last August we wrote about how Fylkir Sævarsson, the very successful Icelandic paddler, attended the Ocean Racing 2012 in Denmark and finished as first place gaining himself the title of the Danish Champion, and this year we are proud to announce that he has once again finished the Ocean Racing as number one!
