It appears there's at least one vendor for a homebuilt wood surf kayak: http://www.surfyak.com/_wsn/page4.html (if you spend 2 minutes on the surfyak site you will know more about the boat than I do.) I could have sworn I saw pictures of a stitch and glue whitewater playboat, but I couldn't find it. Long ago Preston Holms had online photos of how he built the Gecko surf kayak. He started with a foam blank, carved the foam, fiberglassed over the foam then carved the foam out. Hmm, found it's new home via a thread at Nick Schade's excellant kayakbuilder forums http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Design/index.cgi/noframes/read/2110 Preston's 1998 build of the Gecko boat http://www.ptone.com/Kayak/surfboat/building/ which I found interesting as a construction method.
