October 20 Point 65 goes China (part 1)

Last week the whole Point 65 travelled from Sweden to China so that everybody could get a chance to see our production first hand, get to know our Chinese colleagues, confer about the coming season and have fun. Totally we were 11 Swedes and a Britt roaming the PRC!
Staffan Ahltin (Scandinavian sales) going local.

Going paddling China. Christian and Chici doing logistics
Nigel Foster and Staffan working on the seat position of the new Cappuccino 14. A new day boat designed by Nigel arriving at your local retailer come spring!

Some of us went for a paddle on the Huangpu river. Jasmine, Aling, Staffan, Chici, Lina, Paul, Young, Tomas, Christian, me, Nigel, Shen and Micheal.

So which city and province is your factory in? I'm a kayak lover and living here in China long term. Where may I submit an application? ;) And very important, can I buy a touring kayak locally in China? I brought two whitewater kayaks with me but I have so many more opportunities here for expeditions, I'd really love to get a few 14 foot or larger boats. Thanks, Chuck
