Maria shows that the Russians are tough kayaking cookies! Check out the photo with the ice by Will Richardson | Apr 2, 2007 | Whitewater | 0 comments I got this letter from Maria… Dear Eric, I hoped you might be interested in receiving some examples of your kayaks being used in unusual conditions of Russian so called spring:-) I bought Star kayak recently via local dealer and really happy with it. So, we have opened paddling season ten days ago, paddling in a whole amongst the ice pieces and fields, which tried to stop us moving sometimes! There are me and my 16 year old son in the picture, and I am really glad that we share the same hobby and can travel together. Moreover, we both like Jackson kayaks as the most comfortable we ever used. So, thank you and have fun looking at crazy Russian kayakers who try to extend the paddling season in their cold country. With best regards, Maria, St Petersburg, Russia. 🙂 EJ Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
