As I feel my kayak as very personal, I like to give it a name. My first one
was "CAHUIL", the Mapuche name for seagull (Mapuches are the natives of part
of Patagonia). The mane sounds well, but Mapuches didnīt paddle or use
canoes, so for my second kayak I looked for an esquimo name. I choosed
"ANGAKOK", wich means wizard. My third and last kayak was named SHARK, which
is the one I manufacture and Shark is the name I gave to the model.
