Perttu in Finland takes his cheap plywood Quick Canoe on a river trip – Videos

Perttu in Finland is at it again! We are in late autumn here in OZ, but he has used a wonderful Finnish spring day to head off down a river in his “Quick Canoe” in the freshly melted snow.

Review of the Quick Canoe From Perttu….

I placed the seats 19cm+padding from bottom and for us they are perfeckt now.

A spring trip down a narrow river in Finland - the Quick Canoe in plywood

We just came paddling from river haapajoki. Well we found that we aren´t pros, but it was fun and canoe was perfeckt. It was light to carry over obstacles and easy to paddle. We hit once into rock, but there came barely no damage att all.

Video image can take a moment to load.

It might be an 9 minute clip, but we don’t have rivers like that in Australia … what great fun!

    About not having rivers like that.
    My 55 year memory says that the Genoa river in eastern Gippsland is a bit like that and it also has old fossils, ie dinosaur footprints, and new fossils, ie Ted Dexter, along its banks.
