: Argh!!

: Have you designed those surfkayaks your self? Is the offsets available ?
: I want one of those too......

It's not a surf boat it's a whitewater playboat. It's been designed by
digitising from published photos of a manufactured plastic boat whose hull
is chined and easy to reproduce, but whose deck is rather more organic, so
that my approximation will be considerably less good. I think I need to
tweak it a bit more, so it can't be considered as a direct rip-off of
a commercial design, before I would feel entirely safe in publishing the
offsets - when that pic appeared on the UKRGB forum, someone said "that
looks close to a Fluid Flirt" within minutes ...
