Qajaq Treffen 2006 report |
|
vrijdag, 29 september 2006 |
 Friday at 14:15 hrs we arrive at the Rhederlaag, to build up for the second Qajaq Treffen in the Netherlands. On the same spot as last year we hang the ropes for the ropesgymnastics under a large tarp roof incase the predicted rain comes. We pitch our tent close by.
At the end of the afternoon Freya arrives in her castle on wheels and soon we are on the water to practice some rolling and of course to try Freya's Qaanaaq ss, the 'sexy hexy'. Our friend Niklas has come especially from Sweden to participate. |

Stocken Träffen Sweden 2006 |
|
vrijdag, 08 september 2006 |
|
This year we visited the 'Stocken Träff', a seakayak symposium on the island Orust in Sweden. The symposium is organised by Orust Kayak, a seakayak centre and outfitter in the little village Stocken.
Besides the 'modern' seakayak, the 'traditional' seakayak is getting more coverage each year on this symposium. This year for instance the first 'Greenland' style rolling competition was organised. And the people of Qajaq.se (Magnus and Sten). thought we should also compete, as we are paddling a traditional kayak and we can do more than one roll. |

 Triggered by a discussion on the QajaqUSA forum on a grouporder for material to make a neoprene tuilik and because we had already experienced the advantages of a (neoprene) Tuilik for practicing rolling at the Qajaq Træf in Denamark, we have been busy this winter to make our own Tuiliks from neoprene.
At first we wanted to join the grouporder in the US, but fortunately we were able to get a suitable address for neoprene in Italy. They were able to deliver the neoprene at competative prices. But from Italy the transportcosts are considerably lower and we do not have to pay importtaxes.
We made combined order with a couple of qajaq enthousiasts from Turnhout (B) and we ordered 7 sheets of neoprene from Italy (5 double sided and 2 single sided).

Qajaq Treffen 2005 report |
|
dinsdag, 22 november 2005 |
|
 This year Tom and myself have organised the Qajaq Treffen for the first time. We wanted to put traditional qajaq-ing in the spotlight by combining this event with the Veluwe Rally. On friday afternoon we packed our gear and drove to the recreation area Rhederlaag. We had more registrations than we initially expected and the weather forecast for the weekend was pretty good.

About a month ago we registered the www.qajaq.nl address. And since then we have been busy to give Qajaq.nl a new look and feel and to copy the content accross from the old site. The content also has been slightly restructured and is now maintained using a "content management system", Joomla!. We will continue to work on the site and in due time the site will be extended with more features.
We will continue to add content ourselves on a regular basis. But we would also like to add content written by others, so that the subject gets covered from multiple sources. Although we spend a lot of time on the new website, it may happen that certain things do not work as expected. Should this be the case, please let us know through the Contact us link at the top of the page. The Qajaq.nl team.
