: Do you think there is anything dangerous in building some expendable WW S and
: G kayaks? Kids are 2oo lbs and take class II in a PFD. Came up tonight
: with my X-type son. I can build lot's of kayaks but don't want to be
: reckless with only two sons.

this question is too hard to answer, really.

anything dangerous? sure, or course lots just in doing it.

if the good advice is to use regular ww yaks in real stuff and stripper for less rocky stuff,then use regular yaks for this. if the water is basic and simple class 2 or slightly above, maybe ok. and since its you making them for your sons who you care about, you'll probably do an ok job.

basically for ww, i'll over do the glass, w/ good vertical foam pillars running down the centreline, and i'll use it in higher water(less rocks) and situations i already have run before and know.
