: any ideas or links on how to build a surf kayak?

I haven't found much on surf kayaks, but here is a link to a surf board resource site. Lots of stuff about surf board design in the building/repair link. Things that I believe can be incorperated into a kayak. Surf board design has been going on for years and they have tried about everything you could possibly think of.
Interesting design on the pirate kayak.
Check out this site and look at the Mako and mini Mako http://www.customkayak.com/ looks like the rider of a mini just took the prize in an international kayak surf contest.
