I notice that there are no Mariner kayaks on the list. I just wanted to say that I admire a kayak designer that recognizes other vendors and tries to put someone in the right kayak for that person rather than just trying to sell one of their own. It makes me want to do business with that kind of person. Another possibility would be to build your own kids kayak (with the help of the kid). Pygmy makes a Goldeneye 10, a 10' long 17" wide boat that only weighs 14 pounds. I don't know if it's available in plans form but any other S&G boat could be scaled down to kid size and would make a great father/son project. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
