Superior Kayaks, Inc. KAYAK BUILDING WORKSHOPS
If you are a paddler that revels in tradition, the sight of a "Skin on Frame" kayak is sure to make your heart beat faster. Each kayak is custom built following ancient tradition to the paddler's physical proportions and paddling requirements.

Your West Greenland kayak will measure approx. 3 times your height and be as wide as your hips plus 2 fists. Pegged and lashed together, this kayak, fast and seaworthy, is a pleasure to own and paddle.
The East Greenland kayak (not shown) has strong side angles and a low deck profile. It is a tight fitting, performance kayak for experienced paddlers. It is entirely pegged together. A beautiful, challenging kayak to build. Prior class experience required.
The Aleutian Bidarka is the oldest
kayak design known. Its multi-chined hull is lashed with many lashings. These kayaks are built around the paddler's proportions. The Bidarka is an exciting and intricate kayak to build.
