Late report from the Paddle Expo

skapad 2012-09-30 i 'Green Adventures Blog'

 

During three days in late September (18-20th) there was a big canoe- and kayak show in the southern parts of Germany. Paddle Expo took place in Nuremberg, Bavaria, to be more correct. Here you'll find lots of canoe- and kayak manufacturers side by side with paddle gear producers and a whole gang of Stand Up Paddle Board companies. For a devoted sea kayaker, it's like Christmas eve when you walk along the isles full of fancy gear where ever you turn your head. But things are not for sale (thank God for that says my wallet) cause this is a pure trade show and it's not open to the public.

I went there cause I'm involved with a project throug the Scandinavian Outdoor Group (SOG) and we had a stand with a Scandinavian Bar to inform the Scandinavian and Nordic manufactureres who where present at the show that the SOG exists and that we could hopefully support the companies in their work with international business. Next year we hope to be able to create a Scandinavian Village, which is super popular at other big outdoor shows like ISPO Munich and Outdoor Friedrichshafen.

So here are some pictures from the show.

If you click them, they will be presented in a Light Box.

Martin Kössler from SOG is burried in jobs that needs to be done. Or is he just dreaming he was in one the pictures behind him?

Lina Westerlund who used to work with Point 65 have changed jobs and was replaced by Filip. Sad but true. But Filip seemed to be a nice guy too.
