Hendri Coetzee is probably the most remarkable illustration of Fluid's motto: No hype, just Fluid!

During a late meeting last September in Nuremberg, and after a few drinks, the idea surfaced to turn this motto into "No shit, just Fluid!". Well, that suits Hendri even better. In fact Hendri is probably one of the most underrated paddlers out there. Not a lot of people can claim they have paddled the Nile, for example. Then, only a handful have paddled it from source to sea. Hendri did it. Twice. I told you: this new baseline fits him perfectly. We might even consider doing tee-shirts out of it.

So, since Hendri is the kind of guy to get easily bored on the class IV-V norwegian runs, he thought he'd give handpaddling a try and sent this video from last summer. And don't be mistaken here. As far as we believe the Solo to be one of the most maneuvrable and user-friendly creekboat out there, the guy sitting in it has to do with what you see here.
