Anton Prijon sen. made history in canoeing. He was not only one of the best and most successful
kayak athletes in his day, he was also an exceptionally gifted tinkerer and constructor of kayaks.
In the meantime, the small workshop developed into a world-renowned kayak- and paddle
building company. More than ever, we are now a sports-mad company and family and you can
recognize our enthusiasm in our products. At Prijon, we put a great value on all of our kayaks be-
ing manufactured by hand without piecework. We envision ourselves as a modern organization,
which knows where it comes from. Laptop and lederhosen, we are always enthusiastic.
Toni Senior passed his love for watersports to his children and grandchildren; all of them are
active on the water. Today’s owner Toni Junior became canoe slalom world champion in 1987
and with his kids, which are both “kayak-obsessed”, the third generation is growing up.

We are the expeditioners Cristian Donoso (Chile) and
roger rovira (Catalunya) and we paddled 600 km
(324nM) through the Bernardo O’Higgins national Park,
in Patagonia, south of Chile. With an extension of
3,525,901 Ha, this is the biggest national Park in Chile
and the tenth biggest in the World. Its coast is crowned
by the Andes, and the vast Campo de Hielo Patagonico
Sur (Southern Patagonian Ice Field), makes the access
from land very difficult. In its middle area, an extensive
labyrinth of channels and fjords comes from the glaciers
to the Pacific Coast, making boats go through traps and a
deceitful coast. We were pushed to discover and explore
through this mysterious and lonely coast by sea kayak.
Caleta Tortel was the start and end point of our trip.
We had to pack our kayaks to be covered for a month.
Clothes, tent, cooking utensils, sleeping bag and mat,
photography and film equipment, emergency kit, com-
munications kit and, of course, food. We wouldn’t pass
any inhabited places during the whole trip, so we simply
couldn’t forget anything. From now on, our lives were
depending on our kayaks and those things.
Our first purpose was to locate the small Indio Isthmus,
which we reached after 3 days. A portage of about 500
meters saved us 80 Km around Swett Peninsula.
There was a path equipped with crossbars that helped us
to transport the kayaks. The Kawésqar - the old inhabi-
tants of this territory - built up this trail. Even if we had
to cover only a few hundred meters, the transportation
of all our equipment in land took us several hours of tough
work. Once on the other side, we were closer to
our second purpose.
· Prijon Kayaks 2018 > 10 < The Lost Coast ·
The following days, we got closer to our main purpose,
the mysterious oceanic coast of Bernardo O’Higgins Na-
tional Park. The curiosity and anxiety increased between
us as we got closer. Before getting there, we had to cross
the wide channels of Messier and Fallos. The strong
currents made planning especially relevant. 12 days after
leaving Tortel, we paddled along the channel Octubre,
the last one before reaching the open ocean. We observed
the changing landscape, wider, with more sparse vegeta-
tion, a huge marine environment. Suddenly, two penguins
jumped in front of our kayaks, nimbly appearing and
disappearing in the water.
The ocean welcomed us with 1.5m waves and moderated
wind; excellent conditions taking into account where
we were. After so many days in the narrow channels,
the wide horizon, the big breaking waves and the high
cliffs, took us into a dramatic atmosphere. As planned,
we paddled to an island a few kilometers away from the
coast, hoping to find a good spot to land. After passing
with caution an area of breaking waves, we landed in the
most remote area we had ever been before. We decided to
explore the island walking along the coastline. For hours,
we walked on its beaches among whale’s vertebras, sea
lions and colonies of penguins who dived into the water,
surfing waves with indifferent mood. Once on the opposite
side of the island, we found, surprisingly far from the sea
line, the remains of a sailing yacht, the skeleton of a Sei
whale (Balaenoptera borealis) and few days later another
individual of the same species deceased not long ago.
During the last length in the open ocean the hugest waves
we saw on the whole trip caught us. We were moving for-
ward fast with the strong winds and currents. There was
no way to get out from those waves or to go in a different
direction. We could not get close to the shore, because
the fog and the breaking waves were really dangerous.
Our only choice was to keep holding the paddle, long and
exhausting, in waves 5m high. Finally, after 20 Km and a
lot of obstacles, we made it through a channel at Campana
Island and the small Breaksea Island.
Seven days through a labyrinth of channels were between
Tortel and us. The long way back to the civilization became
a promising countdown to finish our boring diet: a mixture
t h e of oats, granola and powdered milk for breakfast and
lunch and boiled pasta for dinner. Our daily life comforts
would be back soon, but what we lived on these 21 days
l o s t would stay in our memories forever.
And it’s all about this, isn’t it?
