Here are a few options to consider if you're a convert to Skin-on-Frame kayaks and want to paddle your own.

First of all, you could build your own, by yourself.............it can be done, and can be a lot of fun.

Or come and build one with me. I offer a building experience where after one short week you are paddling your own SOF kayak, one that you've had real "hands on" involvement and with a Greenland style paddle that you have also made yourself. How does this sound? Fly into Hobart - make your way to my workshop by smoko time Monday - paddle on Friday :)

The cost for this is little adventure is approximately $3,500 and includes lunches and morning/afternoon tea for the week, and you end up with a kayak, a paddle, floatation bags and a sprayskirt. The "approximately" bit needs a decision by you on floatation bags where the option is to go with a slightly more expensive bag that is a combination dry/float bag - essential if you're planning overnight trips.......... Other considerations are to build to incorporate the addition of a sail either at build time or in the future......and you may want another paddle.......and....and...and....
