Test Touring Hardboards: Norden Explorer 12'6" 2014
The small German shaper company from Kiel has really succeeded in creating a great touring shape. In short: the Norden can do it all.
It lies sportily flat in the water, is extremely directional and stable, and the performance is top despite its weight. The sports cannon is easy to steer on downwinders. The luggage system allows touring adventures in all waters.
Conclusion The Explorer was chosen internally as the test favourite thanks to its sporty and comfortable handling. A recommendation for training sessions, short jaunts and serious long journeys.
