Design and build your own WW kayak! After putting my home made whitewater kayaks on display on the Internet (Playak.com & forspaddling.com) “HOX” I’ve gotten lots of questions on how I did it.
That’s why I am writing this little manual on how you can do this yourself, hoping that this will inspire more people to give it a try. I’m sure you have your own ideas on what properties your boat should have and how it is supposed to be designed. A glassfiber construction has the advantage of being lighter and stiffer than plastic boats, although they are more prone to break if you hit rocks with sections that are not designed to flex (e.g. chines and edges). Another benefit of using glass is that it’s easy to repair or redesign the boat as you get new ideas. I started with drawing the boat I wanted to build using the eminent software “Kayak Foundry” that Ross Liedy has made available for download on his web page .
