Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Guest Report by Simon OsborneThe NDK dealers meet is currently in mid flow. Yesterday saw one of the best days out at Penrhyn Mawr. The sun was shining a force 4 was blowing against the flow and the tide was whipping through and over the rocks. The inner race was the site of many pop outs and loops with whoops and cheers all around. I don’t think I can remember a day with so many people getting the kayak into the air. As a result many top paddlers (naming no names) ran out of breath at times! After two hours of continuous surfing people were feeling drained but couldn’t bring themselves to sit in the eddy and watch.

The NDK Dealers Meet was set up by Nigel Dennis to allow him to invite any company that sells NDK around the world to come and see what the kayaks were designed for. It is also a good opportunity to show off new developments and get feedback on what the customers want. The Romany Surf is now in production and watch this space for more photographs of the new design. I will be writing a full report on the week once we have all recovered!

After last nights traditional Irish band and many pints of bitter we are going through new website developments before heading out to Harry Furlong tidal race. With force 8 in the forecast there should be lots more entertainment on the way.
