Norwegian newbie says hello.

Norway calling, viking in a Malibu

Hi there!
English is not my native language, so be nice...

About me:
One year from 30..
Skin/scuba-diving
Fishing
No kids, but a dog
Love music-Metal/rock, will probably install my IPOD on the kayak...
Working with the department of justice
Loves travelling, been to US, asia, Africa, most of europe.
Former military
Very social, always in a good mood.


Reading this forum and the australian http://www.akff.net/forum/ helped me to choose the kayak that I wanted.
So yesterday I ordered a Malibu X-Factor, this will be my first kayak ever. I will get it next weekend, and I am really looking forward to put it in use here on the norwegian westcoast.
On this map http://www.gulesider.no/kart/;jsessi...6tab%3Daddress ( norwegian yellow pages) you can see where my cabin is, and the coast where i will mainly use the yak.
There are some very good sites for Seatrout and Hallibut in that area.
But i will also try to catch a lot of other species.
I also own a 19" Bella 572c with an outboard that I have been fishing from the last couple of years. Found out that a kayak had to be my next watercraft.

Anyone been padling in Norway? any good advices for a beginner?
I will also use the yak as a platform for UW-hunting and scubadiving.

It will be delivered without rudder, so I have to see how I will manage.
I have read a couple of posts about rudders, but have not made a choice yet regarding rudder. The norwegian westcoast is windy....so I will probably install...

Hi Malibujohnny and thanks for the norwegian welcome

Really looking forward to next weekend when it arrives. Will try it out the same day.

Why do you speak norwegian by the way?

By reading sardinecans?
How about books? You should try

your text translated : "From reading sardinecans as a kid, Be sure to send us fotos of HER motorboat! "? I can publish pictures of my boat

Good luck-Lykke til

What sardinecans did you have as a kid? remember the type?

English first

I tried....
I wasn't sure how to translate launch... motor boat I guess is the closest I could get...!

What an amazing place to kayak! I guess it would be like our Northern Coast, Washington and Oregon.

Så langt som sardin bokser gå ... Jeg var bare en spøk.

Ha en god tid på X Factor!

(You need a viking hat now!)
