In Response To: Strip: What is a good play boat design? (Rick)

I surf a lot and like to play in rough water. The Night Heron is a great play boat that turns, rolls and surfs very well. A superlative design.

The Shooting Star baidarka intrigues me enough that I bought the plans. I havent found the time to start the build but without a doubt will do so.

The Pygmy Pinguino looks like a fun design but it isnt strip and it may or may not be big enough. I love my Pygmy Tern 14 and its a blast to surf. Stitch and Glue building sure gets you on the water fast and looks nice too.

I hope you find your design.

Best,

Jim
