Welcome to Sea Paddlers Blue Ribbon of Sweden

Third registration for the year 2025
Date: 2025-03-14

On March 14th, Leena Jylli signed up to start her paddling on May 17th, 2025. We wish Leena good luck with her preparations and look forward to her start.

There are currently no approved paddles for veteran women, so when Leena crosses the finish line, she will be setting a record for the veteran women class. Maybe that will be an extra motivation :-)

 
 

Thank you to Mats Grindvik
Date: 2025-01-28
Since the founding of the Blue Ribbon of Sea Paddlers, Mats Grindvik has manufactured fantastic miniature kayaks for those who have completed an HBB paddle and been approved. All of us who have received such a miniature kayak can rejoice in it as a nice and tangible reminder of a well-executed paddle.

Miniature kayak

Since the start, 205 HBB paddlings have been carried out, so there are about 200 miniature kayaks that Mats has made during all these years. Now, with the right of age, Mats has announced that he will not make any more miniature kayaks. We therefore want to send a big THANK YOU to Mats!

Mats has a few miniature kayaks in the works, which can be completed for the first of this year's paddlers. When they are finished, there will be a newly designed alternative. More on that later.
