Qajaqs

Eureka, I found it! The elusive, perfect rolling qajaq. The one in which you can roll without any encumbrance – a feeling that you are totally free in the water, without even realizing you are in a qajaq. I knew I was looking for a qajaq with a low back deck and low volume overall, plus a good fit with the masik over mid-thighs. I found what I was looking for, but got so much more! The qajaq has a hard bottom (fiberglass over wood) and a soft top, complete with waterproof bulkheads fore and aft with access through small round hatches. It is a very innovative way to built a lightweight, durable qajaq. I am thrilled to have a unique qajaq built by Michael Silvius. I couldn’t be happier! Not only is this a perfect rolling qajaq, it is fun to paddle! Isn’t it pretty?
