Hey QBN'ers,
I thought I would post a few pics from a personal project I recently wrapped up. I made a custom, carbon fiber kayak as a design & fabrication study fusing the best traits between a SUP, a surfboard, and a sit-on-top kayak. I did this to try and grow creatively, and also because its just fun to make real stuff. Also, I have no previous experience with boat making, so that was extra incentive for me to grow creatively and technically. Fortunately, I made a few friends along the way who are meta-smart and willing to share everything they knew about making things that float, and float fast.
More pictures and words on my blog, but here are a few pictures to share the gist.
Cheers,
Nicholas

Fax, just built it for myself. I do a lot of kayaking now, but really wanted to make a sex bomb of a boat that was fast and sleek.
- Congratulations on realising it. Would love to see it in the water.Fax_Benson
