A few months ago I got an email from a couple of ambitious young guys wanting to paddle around Great Britain in their Sea Kayaks assisted with Kites. We decided that this was what we are all about and got on board! In early 2011 Open Horizons intend to circumnavigate Britain in a tandem sea Kayak, They will be relying only on natural elements to complete the challenge. Using the tides and currents as well as specially designed power kites to harness the winds power they estimate this adventure to take 90 days.
Here are a few shots of the guys training and I must say these guys are tough! Training in blizzard conditions while we sit here down in the NZ summer enjoying the sun!
Good luck guys!!
