Mark Tozer and Helen Wilson from
Greenland or Bust are
officially ambassadors of
Rebel Kayaks.
We are proud and very excited to announce that
Helen Wilson and
Mark Tozer have joined the Rebel Kayaks
team.
Helen wrote on her blog:
"
He (Johan) asked Mark and I if we’d become ambassadors
for Rebel Kayaks. We are thrilled to announce that we have accepted
his offer. This decision was made for several reasons. First, the
Greenland is the kayak that I was originally impressed by,(...).
Second, Johan is a wonderful person and a good friend. He has put his
heart, soul and a ton of money into designing several kayaks that are
now recognized worldwide, and for good reason. We have full faith in
the quality of his kayaks, which are being manufactured by Aquarius,
located in Poland, and we can honestly say, he’s a real kayaker, an
awesome person, a great designer and a good friend, and we want to
support him and his new company, Rebel Kayaks. We hope that you’ll
join us in this support."
Helen and Mark will come to Scandinavia for their
Nordic Tour 2014. They are planning to teach
kayak lessons in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. If You are intrested
