The range of kayaks types is as varied as there are different bodies of water. Every different body of water, be it river, pond, lake, harbor or open ocean, has caused someone to design a kayak specifically to meet the demands of the locally prevailing conditions. In fact different people often have different ideas about what they want to do on their lake, bay, or brook and they look for the ideal boat to pursue the on-the-water activity of their choice.
Once more I will be supporting Chesapeake Light Craft at Canoecopia. I generally am working on a boat building demonstration in their booth and I will do a presentation or two.
