After a long break we are back.
First of all, sorry for the long break since the last news. It was a crazy time for us including:

- shipping almost 80 boats to Canada,

- sending over 60 boats to Moscow by road, being one of the most exciting adventures - 1200 kilometers took us 3 days,

- preparing the new C-2 Fighter,

- preparing the new K-2 fighter

- preparing a boat to introduce Plastex to a new niche in water sports,

- looking for a spot to support a Training Center with our boats,

- some other minor things to improve our production process which will result in better product quality.

 

In the last 2 months we visited Dartmouth, Moscow twice, Brandenburg twice (European Ch. and German Ch.), Ostroda, Milano and many more places. We have collected a lot of information to help us make the products better. We want to thank all of you people that help us improve every day.

 

Of course we cannot forget how surprised we are with the results at the World Championships in Canada.

1. First of all big props go to Team Belarus - 7 gold medals! What more can I say? All medals on our boats! Dzianis Harazha, a guy coming this year from nowhere, first won the European Championship, now celebrates his World Championship. Denis was supported by Plastex/Radomski team from the season opening. His effort brought him on the first page of Belarusian newspapers.

 

2. Vadim Menkov proved us that he is a 1000 meters machine, giving us a beautiful final together with Mathieu Goubel. Both of them finishing more than 4 second before third Sebastian Brendel.

 

3. Valentyn Demyanenko won the 200 meters final. Valentyn was one of the first in the world using our C-1 Fighter, at the moment a lot of athletes are switching to our newest canoe e.g. Sebastian Brendel gets his Fighter this week.

 

4. Excluding the relay, 17 out of 24 medals were won on our boats in canoe competition. 4 out of 6 medals in Mens K-4 including 2 gold by Belarus and 4

out of 9 including 2 gold medals in Mens K-2 were also won on our boats.

 

5. We are also very happy that our Bionic canoe paddle is earning more and more athletes trust. Dzianis Harazha, Sebastian Brendel, Adam Ginter, Mathieu Goubel, Valentyn Demyanenko, Tomas Gadeikis (C-2 200m. Gold medalist) - just to mention some of them.

 

The Olympic Fighter series is becoming very popular. 80% of ordered canoes is the C-1 Fighter. We had to keep some workers for our first week of vacation to finish and deliver 24 kayaks from the Fighter series as the clients didn't want to wait until September.

 

We are working on agreements with new dealers so in the near future you can expect new places to buy our products. Meanwhile we added a new dealer in the UK. Ollie is doing a pretty good job so make him busy by ordering our boats:)
