: Although I have been paddling my ski, I haven't formally launched
: it yet as am still ironing out bugs. However, there is a few
: images floating around. (search BoofHead65 on youtube). When I
: varnish it i'll post some pics.

: I just googled average Florida temps and they appear to be very
: similar to Queensland Aus. where I live. Perfect for a surfski
: or at least an open cockpit boat.
: There are several manufacturers producing open cockpit kayaks/super
: stable surfskis and I think that they are an excellent idea for
: warmer climates and expect that we should start to see more
: timber examples as many kayakers cross over. I am meeting more
: and more more surfskiiers coming from kayak backgrounds whereas
: surfskiiers traditionally came from surflifesaving backgrounds.

: FWIW I discounted the Mystery as an option due top its complete
: lack of rocker. I have my own KF design but not the time to
: build it hence the quick S&G option. I really like the KF
: Milliue surfski currently in the kayak building forum at
: blueheron. I am waiting for it to be built so I can try it
: before committing to another boat build.

: I hope you decide to go open cockpit. There are some interesting
: design challenges involved and the more people out there solving
: them the better.
: cheers
I went out with her again. She does have a wing paddle. It was a little choppy and she did go over. I thought I would have to save here but she did fine.
