October 3 Distributor Event

Last week we took our distributors on a paddling trip around the most beautiful part of the Stockholm archipelago, Stendörren. We paddled a lot, camped out and had lots of fun and a lot to eat and drink.
Of the 22 countries where Point 65 kayaks are currently distributed we had half the countries represented: Australia (Peter & Amanda), Canada (Wally & Louise), Hungary (Andras & short of Miska), Japan (Tom, Shinju & Hiro), Norway (Erik & Torkel), Spain (Oscar & Miguel), Taiwan (Cheng, JF & Hsiao), the UK (Bob & Heather), Denmark (Martin), Sweden (Staffan) and China (Micheal).

The group by AirForce 65.
