Fylkir Þorgeir Sævarsson, an Icelander in Denmark, elite open water swimmer and cyclist, got the idea of circumnavigating Denmark in a kayak – the Red-White-Ribbon – faster than anyone before.
The International Paddle Sports Trade Show, Paddle Expo, held at the International Exhibition Centre in Nuremberg, Germany, took place on 18th -20th September this year and once again Seabird Designs of course took part of it also. It is a trade show where you can find everything for paddling – kayaks, canoes, SUP boards, paddles, accessories and many more and this year there were 270 exhibitors in two huge linked halls, everyone from buyers, manufacturers and distributors to wholesalers, press and organisations. Although it is a trade show and not open for the general public, the 3 days were very hectic, interesting and fun!
The biggest fishing magazine in Estonia “Kalastaja” has tested SeaBird Designs’ kayak Fisherman 12.

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.
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!
