: She's a beaut! I'm building a night heron because i didn't think
: i'd fit in the petrel, but now that i know you fit (i'm 205,
: 6'0"); i think i'll give the night heron to my fiance and
: build myself a petrel after all. It's hands down the most
: beautiful kayak ever designed. I love the hard feature lines and
: the gentle curves. What types of wood did you use? And, will you
: be going to okoumefest this year, i'd love to see it in person?
: Enjoy!

Thanks, yah I had a hard time deciding if the petrel was large enough to, that is why I wanted to post that. It is a beautiful design. The woods are Peruvian walnut, red and yellow cedar. I am on the west coast so can't make okumefest.
