Hi folks, I'm Roy Brand (go by Mack) from WA. I've been checking out folding kayaks on the net and wound up joining this site. Guess I've got to explain why I'm most interested in foldables, and why I need the lightest and easiest to assemble...I'm a double amputee (one legged, one handed VN vet) that uses crutches to get around. I love kayaking, but on my own, transporting heavy kayaks would be just too hard (don't want to have to use a trailer, and putting one up on top of my camper is out of the question for me, maybe impossible for anyone). What I've found so far is that Pakboats "Puffin" kayaks are the lightest, cheapest, and (claimed on it's site) the easiest to assemble since 2002. However, there's no detailed explanation of how to assemble them. So, before I call the owner of Pakboats (Alv Elvestad), I'm asking for as much info/opinions about Puffins from those who've experienced them. Thanks in advance.
