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.

Yak Attack is the highest mountain bike race on earth, climbing to the dizzying heights of 5416m above sea level. 8 stages, 400km, 12000m of overall altitude gain and a temperature range of +30c to -15c, tests the most experienced of riders. For the first 3 days the race travels through the hot and dusty Himalayan foothills, before climbing from the lowest point, at just 300m, to the snow covered Thorong La pass (5416m), 4 days later. Breath taking landscapes, searing heat, sub zero temperatures, sand, mud, snow, altitude have captured the imagination of high-level mountain bikers and adventure athletes worldwide. Yak Attack is now internationally recognized as one of the toughest endurance races on the planet.
Can a hiking kayaker paddle a sportier kayak faster that his or her regular sea kayak and, if so, how much? Is achieving a good speed more influenced by the speed of the boat or by the kayaker’s own physical ability? We attempted to find the answers to these as well as other questions concerning fast boats with the help of the historical first kayak testing of our magazine.
