In the early 80's, sea kayaking was not so common along Britany coast. Cruises between Roscof and Paimpol or between Penmarch and Noirmoutier were my longest ones. I enjoyed the spirit of the navigations in groups in weather that were sometime rough. Camping on the beach, living very simply and accessing areas that only kayaks could reach were as many joyful moments, close to the nature.
Plasmor was our main kayak builder. Catchiky and Natsuk were our main boats. The build quality was not that great, but they were realy good kayaks. The Catchiky could carry the kayaker and about 50 kg of equipment and food, which was enough for days of cruise along the coast.
Thirty years later, and likely about 20 years after my last kayak trip, I decided to clean my old Catchiky and ordered a couple new kayaks from Plasmor, one Kitiwek and one K16. I also bought one Nautiraid Narak 550, as I intend to kayak wherever I travel... This blog will relate our little adventures with these great boats.
