Ralph, what do you know about these boats? These are Japanese folding kayaks from a company that has been around since the late 1940s. I haven't seen any of the boats firsthand but am in touch with the US distributor who is bringing them in. I know next to zero about them. I hope to get a look at least at one of the six or so singles they offer. As always, I wish any new company or distributor of folding kayaks, the best of luck and good fortunes. ralph diaz-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
