Why a ribbon for K2-kayaks?
Jim Danielsson who established Havspaddlarnas Blå Band, starting at Svinesund and running around the entire coast of Sweden to Haparnada, has during the past years got the
question "why isn't a K2 allowed within HBB".This question has been asked from several, but as the administration would be to heavy for HBB to manage it has been denied. This is why
a solution with an outside organisation has been looked for. More information about K2B and it's organisation is given here on our pages.
The Kayak section with in The Swedish Association for Outdoor Life in Ljungskile has taken this under their wings. A section of the organisation with lots of activities for paddlers.
Rules for obtaining K2Bandet
Our rules mainly follow the rules for conquering HBB. Jim Danielsson has the kindness to allow us to use those. Irrespective of craft the tour has the same purpose:
TO PADDLE ALONG THE ENTIRE COAST UNDER OWN CAPACITY AND AT OWE RESPONSIBILITY.
There is however one detail we don't have in common with HBB. K2Bandet is possible to paddle in either direction. See our rules. There will also be found how to make an announcement.
Announcements
K2 paddlers are welcome to announce their tour. Despite the resting situation is K2Bandet well prepared to handle announcements and at the page Rules is given how to do this.
The first ten crews approved paddlers will be given the book "100.000 KILOMETER I HAVSKAJAK" written and kindly donated by Jim Danielsson.
