    Are you going to review the Idun more later? I mean by the time you paddle your own? Greetings from Fryslân Holland.

      Hi, yeah I’ll do a more detailed review over the winter now I have my own Norse Idun - which I do love to paddle.

    Great video, really like the dual camera from the side and the boat.

      Yeah trying some new stuff with the videos, although a chest harness rather than me holding the camera in my mouth while paddling haha

      Hi, I love this kayak. I have had mine a month or so now and it’s so great to paddle. I’m so glad I got one.

    nice review.
    would really like to buy one but Uk sellers won't deliver this to Ireland :-(

      Thanks very much & thanks for watching. Sad times they can’t deliver to Ireland I guess that being composite couriers can be rough with these things. Pop on a ferry there is a shop in Manchester that has them 👍. Hope you manage to source one they are quality.

      Hi, I’m 169cm and weigh 56ish Kgs

    • @halfofeightskye

      Thank, you for your reply, I’m 5’7 and about 70kgs would I be in the upper weight for this boat, I really like the look of it, I had a romany surf for many years, and really enjoyed the comfort that it afforded me, I was able to bring my knees up as in a white water and had the option to paddle with them straight, would the idun afford me this luxury??????

    • @halfofeightskye
      @halfofeightskye 3 роки тому

      The only option I have is to travel to Manchester, to have a seat in one, but until, restrictions are lifted this is not possible.

      @@halfofeightskye Hi, you would be perfect in the paddler weight range that Norse recommend for the Idun. They recommend 40-80kg and you want to be upper middle of this really - 70kg is all good. 5ft 7 also wouldn’t be an issue. One of my friends paddled my Idun, he’s over the recommended weight and a little taller but still really enjoyed paddling it (even if he sunk it a little low 😜). You should be able to get yourself nice a locked in with bent knees - like in a whitewater kayak scenario but also have the leg freedom of movement to keep things nice and comfortable.
