Well, technically it IS on water...

Shipped out Tim's Wahoo FSK (Fast Sea Kayak) yesterday. Those that live in southern New England will soon soon see it plying local waters.

For those that don't know, The Wahoo (aka LKomp) was designed by John Winters, a world renown canoe and kayak designer as a open water competition sea kayak targeted for smaller paddlers. It is 18' long x 20" wide. It has a core of western red and northern white cedar with a competition fiberglass layup. The hull exterior is finished with a low-drag black silicone-epoxy paint with a bright deck exterior and interior. Outfitted with Nelo Kayaks footbraces and rudder with a carbon fiber Ultra Low III C K1 race seat. No deck hardware, bulkheads or hatches. Target weight: sub-30 pounds. Built exclusively with Entropy Resin Super Sap CLR bio-based epoxy.
