I can't say for sure if that is correct, or if it is for an AI.
Well, if it is correct, isn't the price diff mindblowing?
How much do you have to pay for a pair of stock tramps in NZ?

I am surprised that there's only one dealer in Sweden.
Thats not entirely correct, I think you can buy Hobie Kayaks at one or two other places but I think they just distribute for the local dealer and all spare parts and all stuff to the catamarans is coming from just one Swedish Hobie agent, my local dealer. Local as in Sweden.

Incidentally it is one of my goals to go back to Sweden to kayak and fish the route that I took in a motor boat some years ago along the lakes and canals around Arjang - it was IDEAL country for exploring by kayak
I have paddled in these lakes (Dalslands Kanal). It's more of system of lakes, very beautyful and perfect waters for kayaking. But we also have thousands of islands around the swedish coastline. Kayaking in Sweden is very popular but the normal season is short. Some experienced people is paddling year around.
