I have to go a long way for surf, but an SOF in that size range has
intrigued me for a long time. I have a Mariner Coaster in fiberglass which
is 13' 6" and seriously scarred up. The boat that really intrigues me is the
SOF Coaster-clone (named the SC-1) built by Brian Schulz of Cape Falcon
Kayaks in Manzanita, OR. Take a look at this link:
http://www.capefalconkayak.com/coaster.html . If the first photo doesn't
grab ya then nothing will. :)

I think Brian will conduct a class in which you build your own kayak -
including an SC-1 - at his shop in Oregon. I would really love to do this
just to have an SOF Coaster.
