FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – OCTOBER 3rd 2024, VÄRMLAND/VÄRMDÖ

Melker Värmdö is announced winner in the Product of the Year Awards 2025 in the most prestigious category Sea Kayaking. The award ceremony took place Wednesday the 25th of September at the premier annual international event The Paddle Sports Show in Strasbourg, France.

The award is selected by an international jury of paddle sports industry professionals and recognizes a sea kayak that significantly makes a difference where Melker Värmdö introduces Melker's new era of lightweight, high-performance, and plant-based construction in a really comfy, and playful light touring & recreational kayak.

"...We are really proud and honored to receive this important award and it’s a great acknowledgement of our efforts in making high-performance and more sustainable products..." says Pelle Stafshede, CEO & Creative Director of Melker of Sweden.

The Värmdö is targeted towards savvy performance paddlers and the more recreational "la dolce vita paddlers” who want to feel like rock stars on the water (still being able to easily toss it up on the roof rack post paddling).

Sleek, forgiving, and stable for new paddlers to learn, with performance characteristics, predictability and endless playtime for surf, roll, carve, and rock gardening.

The kayak comes with the all-new premium seat with exceptional comfort and easy sit-in adjustability. The seat also comes in three different sizes (S / M / L) which makes it possible to tailor the cockpit experience for every variety and size of the paddler.

Melker Värmdö is designed and developed in Sweden with Melker's proprietary plant-based, durable, and feather-light technology which revolutionizes the industry and helps protect the waters and environment we all love.

Melker's all-natural, sustainable and high performance construction combines partly plant-based resin and gel coat with flax fibres and a solid cork core, which allows their kayaks to achieve the highest possible mechanical properties.
