Description:
A key feature of the Idun is its lightweight V-shaped hull, which contributes significantly to its performance characteristics. The design of the hull allows for easy maintenance of speed, making it effortless to paddle over distances. Moreover, the Idun excels in tracking, ensuring that it holds its course with remarkable accuracy, which is especially beneficial in varied water conditions.
The hard chine design of the Idun is another aspect that sets it apart. This design provides outstanding stability when the kayak is edged, giving paddlers the confidence to tackle more adventurous routes. Additionally, the hard chine contributes to the kayak’s agility, allowing for quick and responsive turns, a feature that is particularly appealing to those who enjoy an active and engaging paddling experience.
Storage is thoughtfully addressed in the Idun with three bulkheads and two day hatches, offering convenient and accessible storage options for essentials and gear.
Daisie HuangI just found a website that will print any CHS chart to order and they look great! You can pick up your order at their site or have them ship to you as well. No more trying to find out if Steveston Marine is ever going to get your chart in stock!

Note: they seem to be a fairly new concern; I don’t think they’ve managed to get rid of all their placeholder text. My confirmation emails came from the sender “kevin for test purpose.”
Richard MerchantI don’t know of anyone in specific but you clearly want a “sports physio”. If you are on the west side of Vancouver you might try the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Clinic at UBC – but whoops I see that the physio clinic seems to be located in Yaletown (which is perhaps good and bad).
They specialize in sports injuries and there is lots of rowing/canoeing/kayaking at UBC so there is a good chance they have experience I would think.
Theresa DaviesAnyone have success finding a physiotherapist who specializes in and understands forearm tendonitis (extensor tendon) as it relates to paddling? If you know of someone, I would appreciate the name. Thanks
Dave WilburnI have had this kayak for approximately 25 years and, still to this day, use it for short day trips around the North Shore and within Howe Sound. However, I have (finally) purchased a new kayak and would like to find a home for this one. It was a one-off constructed kayak prior to my purchasing it. It has a hard-chine, no skeg or rudder and storage hatches on the smaller side. The cockpit is also quite small and, therefore, would only be suitable for someone of small-medium build. (I am 5′ 9″ and 155 lb.).
If interested, email me at davidgwilburn@gmail.com. I am in West Van and the kayak is stored near the beach to try out on the water.

Cynthia KennedySKABC Conservation Volunteers are needed Wednesday June 3, 2026
9 am until 2 pm at Widgeon Creek, to be accessed from Coquitlam BC side.Help SKABC in partnership with Metro Vancouver Natural Resource Management cut
and bag the invasive Yellow Flag Iris flowers and seed pods.
Bathrooms are on site.
As a kayaker and outdoor enthusiast why would we want to do that? Per the Invasive
Species Council of BC, Yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus), an invasive aquatic plant. It
disrupts water flow and can reduce a marsh’s ability to purify water. This plant alters the
ecosystem along the shoreline and can reduce the concentration of macroinvertebrates
(insects) from 600 per m2 to 6 per m2. This has a rippling effect on the entire food chain
that depends on these insects for survival.
