: Hello, my name is Amanda. I am interested in building a two person Kayak for
: my boyfriend and I to use. I have no Idea the frist thing to do. I've been
: looking on the internet and there seems like there are many different
: types... If anyone has a suggestion what would be good for a beginner (
: building and the Kayak!!!) i would much appreciate any help thanks ~

What kind of Kayaking will you be doing? Camping? Day Trips? How tall are you two, and how much do you weigh? Off hand, I recommend you build two boats. There is a reason they refer to tandems as divorce boats...and you guys aren't even married.
