Rebel Kayaks – new brand
of high end sea kayaks for demanding paddlers.
After more then ten
years of designing kayaks for a number of companies (and got ripped
off a couple off times) it is now time to back off a little and look
for the passion and joy once more.
The idea for Rebel Kayaks is
to connect design with skilled employees. Workers that have the
knowledge and feeling for the materials that they work with. And
also have the knowledge and feeling for paddling. It means that I as
a designer am more closely connected to the process. The vast
experience that the builders have will translate into producing high end sea kayaks
for demanding paddlers – built on experience!
First two
models introduced under the Rebel brand will not be “new models”.
Instead we have chosen two models that are well known, recognised,
and highly regarded by paddlers all around. We will upgrade them and
also put more effort into the lamination in order to get stiffer and
lighter boats. The kayaks will not be produced in big numbers any
more. Instead we will focus on putting that little extra effort into each and every kayak.
The difference that You will feel
while paddling in REBEL kayak.
Yours sincerely Johan
