Today I made a new trip together with @ioezg and @tzinng. This time from the Griebnitzsee to the Pohlsee. We have had a lot of fun. And it is really easier to paddle with two persons instead alone. And always a big unicorn following us... 🛶🦄🌊😂 #canoeing #onak #onakcanoes #berlin (hier: Griebnitzsee)

As a solo canoist I have had some problems to fold the Onak back to a case. The material is still so stiff once you fold it to a case, it unfold itself again. The weight of a paddle is not enough at this stage. What works for me is the use of these binder clips (51mm/wingspread 28mm) and a bigger one (spring clamp/Leimzwinge, wingspread 55mm). With these I was able to fix the parts quite easily so it wouldn't unfold again. And another tipp: My mom sewed me little bags for the aluminium bars. It helps to pack everything a little bit smoother. Do you have some tips and tricks around the Onak? Like to hear about it! 😁 #onakcanoes #onak #canoeing #doityourself #diy #troubleshooting

Today I finally tested my Onak canoe on the water. It was a shaky thing, especially in the beginning, when you are not yet on the way. Once the canoe is moving forward it's behaving quite normal. The main thing I learned today was, that I need definitely more practice when I really want to drive solo. It will be much easier in the beginning with a second person. I went to train station Griebnitzsee, where you just leave the station and walk the stairs down to the lake. The rest of the week will be rainy, so I am glad I went to the lake today. 🛶🤘🏼😅 #onak #onakcanoe #canoeing #berlin #griebnitzsee

How I treat my canoe at the moment... I am very pleased to see how strong the material is. 😁 #onak #onakcanoes #canoe #preparation @onakcanoes

This afternoon I tried to find out how to shape the Onak more like the reference picture. I also saw the new video tutorials. On the left you can see my first assembly, on the right side the result of today. I'm not sure if I will match the shape of the reference. The material is still very stiff, it's still hard to fold at some points. 😩 But ideal or not, I think the canoe has already a shape that will work on water. Can't wait to test it. It seems that finally the weather will become better next week. 🌦🌞🛶🤘🏼😊 #onak #onakcanoe #onakcanoes #canoe #canoeing #foldablecanoe @onakcanoes

My evening: I assembled my new foldable canoe from @onakcanoes .It arrived Tuesday and my first try was a failure. Today I tried it again and after one hour I got an acceptable result. After looking the reference pictures from the canoe I guess where I can improve later. But I guess I will leave it over night this way. So hopefully next time the assembly will be a bit easier. Anyway can't wait to make my maiden voyage. 🛶🌞🏖😍😅 #canoe #canoeing #onak #foldable #foldablecanoe #kickstarter
