Skating all day

Want to go for a long skate tour, but your ankles won't cooperate? Try these skates from Zandstra. I used to be a 3^th class skater, till I got these. Now I keep it up from dawn till dusk. They might be considered 'not done' by the pro's, but I don't care (and neither should you). Now everyone can do those nice long efficient strokes... Love it!

When the Dutch lakes and cannels are frozen, we've got skaters paradise! Tours of up to 200 Km are organised. Very nice sceneries and stalls on the ice selling soup and hot chocolate. I consider a good Dutch winter to be the highlight of the year and the purchase of my first zandstra to be one of the great turning points in my life ;)

New (1-2-2006): Want to know why the Dutch are so keen on a good skating winter? See these pictures and escpecially the movie I made of a rare great skating day jan. 29, 2006.

With these skates one can't do a competely technically correct stroke (start on the outside of the skate and end on the inside), but that's a miner disadvantage on a long tour.
