Folks,

I found that "Shipping all over the world", or something like that business
on the net (yahoo), and they replied to me with a better price for shipping 
a sea kayak. Now the price is competitive with buying a plastic
sea kayak in Spain (taxes are way higher there, and dollar is low).

Definitely shipping by sea is the way to go. 

- Julio

p.s. I will probably just build a couple of greenland foldables, if the
rain allows me to work outside. :-}
