I attended the Great Lakes Boat Building School in Michigan to build this kit. It went together beautifully and despite the 17' length it is light, tracks great, and looks awesome. I can carry camping gear, tent, sleeping bag, food and cooking items in two hatches. Anyone can purchase a plastic kayak, but there's something special about a wooden boat.

Great company with an awesome inventory covering all areas of ability and purpose. My Wa Nui 14 is perfect for the lakes and rivers of Illinois and Wisconsin. Took a while to become proficient as it's not as wide as the beginner boards. Pros Fast Cons not as stable as a wider board and takes getting used to. Usage cruising and exercise

Fast, not for beginners, built for non surf environment Pros Cons slightly unstable due to width Usage exercise, maybe someday racing
