Used ski for Northern Europe/Scandinavia

Hi all,

Anyone have a used ski in good condition somewhere in Northern Europe/Scandinavia? I'm looking for something along the lines of a Fenn XT.

I'm located in Denmark and figure I'd be able to ship by road or rail or simply collect myself.

Cheers
P.S. Great site by the way.

Hello

I have a glass Fenn Xt, but there is no way I am selling I bought mine from Morten Skytte from Hellerup kayak club. He is selling Fenn surfski in Denmark. Track him down on facebook. I became a member of Hellerup kayak club while I decided what boat to buy and he was fine with me testing the boats. I gave a bit under 13 K d.kr for mine.

Regards Kenneth

thanks for the info, I dropped his a message on facebook.

Funny thing is everyone in DK is telling me to either get a sea kajak or similar...too cold for a surfski they say

What they don't know is that I'll be toasty warm in my 6mm surf suit and when the water warms up then the fun really begins.

Do you guys do any down wind runs here in Denmark? I do a lot of kite surfing and we have some excellent 'down winders' between Hundested and Tisvildeleje. I figure it'll be a lot of fun in the waves too that's why I'm aiming for an XT for stability (also becuase I haven't paddled in years!)...and also for the calm glass days when there isn't any kitesurfing to be had.

Cheers.

Paddling in your wetsuit is a bit of a downer, rotation sucks big time because the suit sticks.
I wonder if somebody has come up with a cure for that?
Maybe some material that slips a bit to sit on?

Hi!

I´m about to sale a Honcho Guevara, which might be interesting for you!
You can test/ pick it up in Bremen (Germany).

The overall condition is as good as new.

For pictures just pass your eMail address.

I am sure we will find a price.

Brgds,
Simon

Talk to Lutz Erichsen of Kolding Kayak Klub...he has a (basically) new Knysna Viper imported from SA. Last I heard he was thinking of selling it, might be worth talking to him. If you want, send me a private mail, and Ill forward a contact number for him.

Surfski are fairly new in Denmark, so there is no big/tiny group of surfski paddlers that I know of. Most kayak clubs don't have these boats and shops that I have been in don't have any demo boats. I paddle in a longjohn, it is a bit different made then a wetsuit and it doesn't stick. I am actually paddling in the waters between Amager and Sjælland which at the moment are frozen solid , so I am not aware of any Danish Millers runs. Maybe when I become a better paddler I will seek something that's more of a challenge There is also a Swedish site called globalsurfski.com/, they have a surfski spring camp coming up soon. Most of the time the wind is coming from west, and between Hundested and Tisvildeleje there is no protection so I can understand your going for a Fenn XT :)

I´m so glad to realize that Germany isn´t the only country in which surfskis are common like dolphin in the baltic... (unfortunately I can see no/only small improvement unlike far north)
It might be still a bit annoying to wrap yourself into a drysuit but then your are properly dressed for these temperatures (with no obstruction in movement) & you have much more fun than dragging sea kayaks.
I also started with kayaking to have an wind-independant sport alternative. It hadn´t taken that long and I have paddled the majority of my spare time. Kiteboarding is now my favorite option when wind conditions are becoming to hard for my ski abilities.

Especially if you prefer to use a surfski in the roughest conditions I am not sure if you need a ski which is that stable... it can get a bit boring.
It is the best to test & compare which is- & will be best for you... esp. after some practice/ improvement!

Greetings from the south,
