March

It's early spring in Norway. The light is returning as always. That really is quite an energy boost. This year have had early warm temperatures and relatively little snow, so it feels very warm and summery all of a sudden. The interest in kayaking is growing around the country as the skis are stowed away for the season.

Rumors have it that Brooks paddle gear is no longer existing. That is just not true.We've had a great cooporation with Brooks paddle gear since 2006 - nearly 20 years. The company has changed, but they still fathfully deliver high quality, hand made paddle gear. This year we recieved a large preseason order, consisting of Tuiliks, sprayskirts, akulisaq, avataq, pogies, hatch covers and other similar very specialized products from Vancoucer, Canada where it is made.

If you hear people say that Brooks is out of business, please share this information!

The quality speaks for itself, but last year I had a visitor who bought one of the first tuilik I sold back in 2007. The color was originally black, but light grey was more my impression now. Because this guy had not only been rolling, but also paddling thousands of kilometers with his Brooks tuilik over the past 17 years. And surprisingly with a so used garnment, it was still perfectly waterproof and appeared used, but in good condition after 17 years of wear, sun and saltwater!

So, if you consider buying the best quality tuilik this year, please make contact - we have them - all shapes and sizes. And please share this information to those who say that Brooks is out of business :)
