The Ocean Racing 2012 was held in August in North Sealand, Denmark in a town called Helsingør. The distance was 36km and consisted of a 2 x 18km long stretches that was paddled along the coastline. Fylkir finished as number one gaining himself a title of the Danish National Champion! For the race he used a carbon fiberglass version of the SeaBird Sport 600.
Sport 600 with surfski pedals – When originally SeaBird Sport 600 was produced with Power Pedal Pro, then now it comes standard with the surfski pedals – the high-effective carbon pedals with 3 point locking. Surfski pedals are fully adjustable, one piece curved prepreg carbon plate with flexible pedals. They are stiff to allow full pressure without any unintentional turning, but they flex just enough to give you full steering potential when needed. High friction peel ply surface gives you a secure grip regardless of your footwear.
