greetings paddlewise members. My name is Bart, and i am new to this forum. I have developed a love for sea kayaking over the past few years. with that love, has come some mixed emotion about having to leave my dog at home during my excellent adventures. i had taken her in a canoe before, but that really works better with two people. the local kayak dealers had no really good solutions. after some thought, and a flashback to hawaii 5-0, i developed the "kayrak". this can be seen at www.kayrak.ca . the outrigger and platform system worked really well, and i was able to take my 60 lb lab/newf cross dog on several weekend trips on Georgian bay before the season ended. I have taken her on day trips in 2 ft waves and 25 knot winds, and the kayak handles exceptionally well even under these conditions. there are many other uses for this design, and i would truly appreciate some feedback. Incidentally, my design has made the finals of a design competition, and i would really appreciate some voting support from the kayaking community. at the moment, the hummer tailgate design is in the lead, and this seems just so environmentally unfriendly. I look forward to hearing from you and learning what you think.
