In Response To: Seeking: SOF to build (Kyle H.)

: I am looking for a kayak to build for winter indoor pool use. I would like to
: try my hand at a SOF and use it for learning Greenland paddling/rolling
: techniques. It would need to stand up to chlorinated water, although it
: will also see some fresh water use during the summer months.
: I am 5'8" female, 160# and athletic. I paddle my Huki surfski in the
: summer and have built four S and G kayaks; ready to tackle my first
: stripper kayak this summer. Of course, I am already looking forward to the
: next one!
: The SOF will need to be lightweight (hope that this is not an oxymoron) so
: that I can cartop it easily, and I would really like one that is easy to
: roll since my roll is not yet bombproof, and I plan to use this kayak
: strictly for learning rolls and sculling, etc.
: Thanks and appreciate in advance any ideas you can send my way.

Hi Kyle,

Suggest looking at Tom Yost's kayaks at Yostwerks. Very light btw.
