Re: [Paddlewise] scratching the itch

I've been away from paddlewise for a bit, but I can never resist talking
about buying more boats. :)

So far I've got:
1 pygmy Arctic Tern
1 carbon kevlar surf kayak (Mega Jester Rio)
1 amazingly fun rodeo kayak (pyranha inazone 240)
1 creek boat (Riot Kix)
1 squirt boat (New Wave bigfoot)

I would like to build a super low volume skin frame kayak for the express
purpose of learning all those cool rolls that I saw Maligiaq perform. I am
also interested a building a traditional Baidarka with the original style
bifurcated bow. Finally, I wouldn't mind having one of Jimmy Snyder's new
squirt designs.

There are also several boats that I want which cannot be purchased. I have
already started designing them. Eventually I'll let the details be known,
but expect one design to be seen primarily in the surf, and the other to
be seen primarily in a tide rip.
