Erik -man of the hour

There is one man that can make the impossible happen, Erik Norefors, Point 65's logisics maverick and event coordinator. Erik is the guy who can build a block stand virtually by himself in 12 hours and then be the last man standing at the following dinner.

Erik easily arranges a 70 person dinner with a kayak demo going on at the same time. He get's 20 kayaks in and out of the water while simultaneously entertaining VIP guests and trying some boats himself.

Unloading a 40 foot container with 80 kayaks is a breeze. Erik does that before lunch and spends the afternoon fixing some kayaks beaten up after some heavy beach landings.

Erik arranges a kayak marathon for hundreds and is back in his office the next morning hammering out packing lists while managing his warehouse guys.

Chaos is when Erik really get's going. When things are crazy Erik is the calm in the centre of the storm.

Erik is a great paddler and loves the sport. He is most often the first one out on the new Point 65 prototypes (he receives the shipments, unpackes them and is on the water before anybody else even knows the new boat has even arrived). I guess Erik has been the first to roll half of our kayaks.

On his vacations Erik likes to go of to do some volunteer work for some crazy snow board event or multi sport competition like Ö till Ö.

Erik is the man that makes Point 65 tick while I'm on the road weeks at end.

ERIK, THANK YOU!
