I just stumbled across the site below, which was a real blast from my past. My first paddle boats were two 1972 Royaks, which I used for free and SCUBA diving. (My six year old daughter had a ball paddling around Lake of the Woods, above Klamath Falls, Oregon on their first water trip.) It was my memories of fun on the water paddling to the dive sites that got me into Kayaking 4 years ago. Kayak history buffs might enjoy the history data including pictures of the first SOT, made from an aluminum aircraft wing tank. (Can you believe they actually make one, today, with a battery powered stereo or a blender? Aren't some water people interesting!)
