>>> Cardboard kayak
Looks very nice… hadn’t thought about trying to use cardboard and waterproofing it. I wonder how it would do with Coroplast?
The Mokai ES-Kape
>>> The Mokai ES-Kape
OK, this is just really fun and slick looking. I listed it tagged as canoe/kayak, but it is a powerboat, not a paddle craft.
Kind of a sit-down jetski.
They are collapsable and will even fit in the back of a Prius :-).
Check out some of the pictures and videos on their web site.
Seafoam Kayak
>>> Seafoam Kayak
A fun looking Instructable where a Gavin Atkin Mouseboat design (plans are free from Duckworks) is constructed from builders foam insulation. Wouldn’t have thought it would be tough enough, but he skins it with glue-impregnated cloth and it seems to work well.
Fun project.
(I didn’t know people built camping trailers from this stuff… they call them "foamies".)
Oru Kayak with Electrafin
>>> Oru Kayak with Electrafin
Oru Kayak has had some really neat, Coroplast kayaks for a while now. They are fold up into an easily transportable box that you can sling on your bike or whatever, then assemble when you are ready for the water.
Now they are adding Electrafin® Current Drives as an option. Looks really slick.

Birthday Cake Foam Kayak
>>> Birthday Cake Foam Kayak
OK, here’s a neat take on building a kayak… using 2" (or 1") EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam panels. Layer them like a cake and glue together, carved to shape. The builder calls it the Sawfish, and it looks like a fine craft.
And one that most anybody could build with minimal tools and space.
I do note that (like me), he finds that getting the supplies he wants is difficult. The standard local stores never seem to carry quite what you need (in his case 2" EPS foam), at least without buying a pallet of it.
Kayaking Journey down Mississippi River
>>> Kayaking Journey down Mississippi River
A couple makes a 70-day kayaking journey down the Mississippi River. Neat way to see things in detail. And done as a charity fundraiser to boot…
Foldak – 12 foot folding canoe
>>> Foldak – 12 foot folding canoe
Wooden Widget has added the Foldak, a 12 foot folding canoe.
The Foldak is an easy to build 12 foot folding canoe. Like the Fliptail it consists of a central keel, drop down floors, four hoops and a reinforced PVC skin. It unfolds in less than a minute and all the pieces needed to assemble it are always attached so you won’t arrive at the water’s edge missing a vital piece. It is stable, tracks well yet is easy to turn. Designed to be used with either a single paddle or a double kayak paddle.
