Kayak Noise - Flat hull Sea kayak

Viper Proto....

I've surfed it a few times now. It surfs very differently than the Spyder I normally surf. But once I started to figure it out I got some unbelievable rides it goes like a freight train. I'm able to catch very small waves easily and as long as I stay high I pick up lots of speed. I haven't taken a GPS with me but on flat water the boat feels fine.

Funny, but the boat looks short until you stood it on end. Must have something to do with the shape of the hull.

I hope this blog will be a fun way to share the process we go through while designing kayaks.
There are many great kayaks out there and every paddler has there personal preferences based on their shape, size and needs. As a paddler with a love for the sport I'm sure I will have my bias too. For me designing kayaks combines two life long passions kayaking and designing. Whether the design is a rec boat, sit-on, sea kayak, surf boat or WW boat they all become personal during the process. I hope this blog can show some of what goes into designing a kayak.
Feel free to comment but unfortunately due to work and family commitments I doubt I will get chance to reply. Any spare time I get I'm going paddling.
Thanks Spike
