CoastRunner and Escape on a cold November morning in Denmark


CoastRunner Escape Escape

Bjørn Johansen from Roskilde, Denmark posted several pictures from a sunny but cold morning paddling in the end of November. The pictures show two of his kayak designs: the new CoastRunner (red deck) and the Escape (blue deck). He entered both kayaks in the 5 mile virtual race this year.

The pictures were shot with his new Pentax Optio WP: So far the Pentax seems to perform as expected, not particularly sharp in the corners, but that is about all I can find to complain about. I have added a handle, made from hard PVC foam, which makes it a bit easier to hold, and which has sufficient volume to make the whole thing float. I might add a spirit level and a viewfinder, can't see a thing on the screen in the sun.
