Welcome to Sea Paddlers Blue Ribbon of Sweden

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.
