Hi all

I'm relatively new to kayaking but see that building my own kayak will be both a realization of a dream and also the only affordable way to own it. I participate in adventure races that incorporate paddling legs and am looking for plans for a surf-ski or fast single kayak to build using foam stripping (yes, I realize that I'll lose the beautiful look of the wood, but I am experienced with this method from sailing dinghy building and suspect I can make it very light as well). Any ideas are welcomed. Thank you.
