<span style="font-size: large;">We have some news for you! Until now, we only had 2 greenland kayaks in the Rebel range. Today we want to introduce you our new kayak. We called it Husky, because Huskies are a <span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>hard working and friendly dogs</b></span></span> - same as our new kayak!</span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Husky's features</b></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">With a rocker and more symmetrical hull-shape this is one
playful kayak. Hard chine, flat <span style="color: red;">V-shaped </span>bottom with fine endings
towards bow and stern, it's made to maneuver. It has a low profile and
very easy to roll. It features stainless steel rods for a towing system
or to lock on a roof rack plus has lots of cords on the deck for al of
your stuff / gear.</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Why Husky? </b></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my first
<span style="color: red;"><b>“Greenland”</b></span> style kayaks was called Husky and this version is something
like MK 5 or 6, but still has a lot in common with the concept. Recent
significant change is, that we put some more rocker into the hull. We
were pleased with the deck-layout so, we didn't change nothing there.
For a person up to 90kg it’s a real playboat and even with some load, it
will be a working dog during a few days trip. This version is Low Volume.</span><br />

Thank You so much for that!<br />
<br />
<br />
Short film on rolling in the Rebel Greenland T. The kayak is one of the most succesfull designs ever in modern traditional kayak designs. It is a rolling machine, but where it excels from other rolling kayaks is that it is both stable and fun to padle on a day trip as well. The film was captured at Kajakgaardens residence in Kolding Harbour. Equipment used was Rebel greenland T and also a Rebel Standard Blade. The very skilled padler - David Garcia, used Palm Equipment drysuit and Pfd, which is his preferred brand. - <b>wrote Team Kajakgaarden</b>.<br />

-It more or less all started for <b>Rebel
Kayaks</b> when we showed a kayak at <b>Paddle Expo</b>, (a kayak fair in
Germany, in 2013). The response was greater than expected and we went
home strengthened by the experience;</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
What spurred us most was that the
requests came from well established retailers with many years in the
industry. It was something we hoped for (when) knowing that
appreciation of <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>quality</b></span> also means longevity and good service.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We were aware that our production would
be limited so we made that clear to our prospective customers and
dealers but what we were not prepared for was that the <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>"T"</b></span>
model would sell in greater numbers than <span style="color: red;"><b>"Ilaga".</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Our mould maker unfortunately broke his
leg in the middle of the start-up of production, The leg is now
healed and the kayaks delivered So every thing worked out well, even
if it was tight sometimes.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>So all together:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We have all helped each other, and
relations have been strengthened between all involved which feels
extra good. We did not rush the production of the kayaks and warranty
claims have been almost none.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This was also reflected when we met
most of our retailers at this year's Paddle Expo, and it has been
confirmed many times directly from those that now own and paddle a
"Rebel".</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>What happens next?</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
-Yes, we are planning to increase the
production somewhat. Now we are prepared for the disparity in sales
between the models and we hope to keep a small stock for next <b>Year.</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We will also expand our catalogue with
more kayak models over time. Drawing from my previous experiences,
the new kayaks will not be presented until they are in production,
with rigorous test paddling and adjustments prior production
completed !!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Many people have been in touch with me
desiring the release of some of the previous kayaks I designed, which
are no longer manufactured. We are obviously both honoured and
delighted, but since we are a small manufacturer with limited
resources, we must consider every step carefully.</div>

<b>Phil from Belgium</b> wrote to us after a few days of using his Greenland T:<br />
<br />
"<i>I have had many, many positive reactions on the water. It's like going out with<b> <span style="color: red;">the most beautiful girl</span></b><span style="color: #274e13;"> </span>in the school. :-) Thanks again for doing such a great job</i>"<br />

<b>Larus from Iceland</b><br />
<br />
<i>"kayaks looks great. I look forward to try mine on the water" </i><br />
<br />
<b>Sveinn from Iceland </b><br />
<br />
<i>"We finally got the kayaks today. I took it out for short test paddle this evening. Loved it.</i><br />
<i>I
have to give you a credit for how well you packed the kayaks into the
box. Very professional. The kayaks are superb and the production is
with high quality."</i><br />
<br />
What can be more rewarding?<span style="color: red;"><b> NOTHING! </b></span><br />
<br />
Where we are not present yet? We are not present in <span style="color: red;"><b>Germany and USA</b></span>. Why are we mentioning this? Because while we got many private inquiries from this two countries we still do not have any dealers there. So... if You are wondering about that, pleas ask your local shop why they don't have any <span style="color: red;">Rebels</span> in stock <b>yet</b> ;).<br />
<br />
Last words? hmm... There is a new kayak coming for 2015 season! Johan will write something more about that soon. <span style="color: red;"><b>Stay tuned! </b></span><br />

If not just take a look :)<br />
<br />
Our PFD has two big pockets with zippers plus 7 adjustable straps for<span style="color: red;"><b> best body's fit</b></span>. Adjustable straps are on: top (shoulders), front and both sides. At the front You will also find 4 way lash tab, it can be used to fix watch, knife or whatever You need while paddling. PFD's, same as our kayaks and paddles, are made in Poland. PFD was designed for touring, however thanks to adjustable straps is good choice to perform good rolls. <br />

Almost two months passed away from our last post, it because we are in peak season. We have a lot of work and a lot happen around us. Finally it's our first season.<br />
<br />
As most of You already know that we are supporting <span style="color: red;">Nordic Tour </span>by Helen Wilson and Mark Tozer. They use Greenalnd T and Ilaga. <br />
Few weeks ago <b>Helen & Mark</b> have had an accident on the way to Oslo. They were traveling with their bus and with the kayaks on the roof. They have rolled the van and stopped at trees. Lucky they are really fine, nothing serious happened to them and this is most important and good thing. Unluckily car and kayaks were<span style="color: red;"> totaly crashed</span>. After few days of convalescence they decided to continue their Nordic Tour and keep teaching the rolls. <br />
If You would like to learn more, please visit their article:<b> <span style="color: red;">>></span><a href="http://www.greenlandorbust.org/the-day-we-rolled-the-van/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The day we rolled the van </a></b>. <br />
Now they are travelling with Johan's private car (Volvo of course;). We managed to replaced their kayak, one from our west coast delaer:<b><span style="color: #274e13;"> KajakCenter i Grebbestad</span></b>. Thank You Mats for that! Another one is a private Johan's kayak: Rebel Ilaga with wooden finish.<br />
<br />
In general this accident could has big impact on Tour plus Mark&Helen personally, however thanks to many good people they are now fine and all problems were solved. Now is time to go forward! <br />
Like Helen wrote on blog: <b>"Life must go on, and we’re very grateful that we still have that life…"</b><br />
At the time we are writing this post Helen and Mark are already in Greenland... They will be back in Scandinavia around 23 of july. <br />

First Rebel Kayaks are already available at KajakGaarden.<div lang="en-US" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
We
are pleased to announced that <b>REBEL</b> is now on in <span style="color: red;">DENMARK</span>! We
wrote in one of previous post:</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<i>"Today
we have started production of the first kayaks ordered from our
Scandinavian partners. We are very excited because <b>REBEL</b> is becoming
a reality."</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="result_box"></a><span lang="en-US"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Now we can say that <span style="color: red;">REBEL</span> became reality also in Denmark. We are extremely happy and delighted to work with such partners in DK. A few days after delivery we already received some great photos taken by Michael (Kajakgaarden owner) and the first feedback from a happy user of a Greenland T. You can see him rolling on our Facebook profile <b><span style="color: red;">>></span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/RebelKayaks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a></b>. Jan sent us a video on facebook just a few hours after he received his kayak. Can there be something more rewarding?</span></span><br />

We
took this opportunity and asked <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Michael (Kajakgaarden
owner)</b></span> a few questions. </div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Rebel:Could you tell us more about the shop and your history of how you got involved with the kayak market</b>? </b>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b>Michael (Kajakgaarden):</b> Originally I was working as a police officer in Copenhagen, than I took a year of leave and enrolled in an Outdoor Activity Guide course at the university of Copenhagen. I specialised in Sea Kayaking. Once I graduated I re-joined the police but started to do jobs and planned courses and events in different places around Denmark. Eventually we moved to the West side of Denmark, bought a little house at the sea and started our own business offering courses and education for seakayakers. In extension of that people started to ask for equipment and kayaks, so we evolved our little business from our home. In 2008 we were offered a place for our business at the harbour in Kolding and we accepted.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Rebel: </b>.. and now You have
already two shops in Denmark? </b>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b>Michael (Kajakgaarden):</b>
That's right. <span style="color: red;"><b>Kajakgaarden Kolding</b></span> opened the 1th of march 2008 with a concept to stock quality kayaks and equipment while offering a lot of knowledge about our products. In spring 2010 we opened our second shop in <span style="color: red;"><b>Aarhus</b></span>.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b><b>Rebel: </b>Why You decided to
start your relation with Rebel Kayaks? </b>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b>Michael (Kajakgaarden):</b> My relationship with <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Johan Wirsen</span></b> started when I met him at Paddle Expo andimmediately I communicated very well with him. Later on we met again at a sales weekend in Estonia. We had some drinks and a good long talk about kayaks as well as a lot of other things. I regard Johan's skills as a designer very highly. He has great knowledge of boat designs and craftsmanship, and with his remarkable personality it has been a pleasure to work with him. When he told me that he wanted to bring back <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>passion into the paddlesport</b></span> and move away from the <span style="color: red;"><b>cold hearted business attitudes</b></span> that he had experienced in earlier business relationships, and re-establish his designs under the Rebel Brand, I immediately told him that if he wanted to work with me I was ready to support both his thoughts and his business. Fortunately we now have recived our first Rebel Kayaks, and they<b> look great and very sturdy</b>. From here we look very much forward to work with Johan and Rebel in the future and also to bring back some healthy attitudes to the paddlesport market.</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b>Rebel: Now You have 2 shops,
but You also cooperate with Kano & Kajak Butikken, which actually
has two other shops. Cooperation between two shops in one country is
quite uniqe, isn't it? </b>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<b>Michael (Kajakgaarden):</b>I met Peter for the first time while I was at the Outdoor Guide Course and bought some stuff from him. Later on, when I opened my own shop, we had some good discussions on how to run a business and cooperate, and we have been doing so since. It has also been a pleasure to work with Peter and we have a lot of things in common on how to do business as well as we carry a lot of the same brands in our stores. And now also <b>Rebel Kayaks</b> :-)</div>

Our <b>Greenland paddles </b>are now in production and are currently offered in 3 different models\sizes. All of them are made from <span style="color: red;"><b>Pacific Red Cedar</b></span> and reinforced with edges of <b><span style="color: red;">Fraxinus</span></b>.<br />
On the bottom of loom the shoulders is pronounced to create an index where your thumbs will sit. The top side is smoother for a softer grip of your palm on the paddle. The advantage of a wooden paddle is that <span style="color: red;">you can adjust</span> it a bit and customize it yourself for a personal grip or feel. You can just carve or sand away a little bit at the time until you find your "own grip. After you have been using it for a while you oil it again, and have the nice feeling of holding on to wood. <br />
