From the initial idea, getting the people , ordering all the materials and coordinating everything takes a lot of cooperation. We were lucky to have an exceptional group, everybody pulling together and helping each other. We managed to finish the decks and in the near future working on weekends we will finish our kayaks. It was a fantastic week and a great experience for everybody who took part.<br />We worked mostly from Robert Morris`s book, building Skin on frame boats, as well as from Ch</span>ristopher Cunninghams Building the Greenland kayak.</td></tr>

<div>
Last summer we had a wooden kayak day on the beach and this became the inspiration for a sudden burst of kayak building. Hopefully we will have some new kayaks for the next meeting.</div>
<div>
Oh and before I forget , there`s Yoram building a new double kayak too.. </div>
<div>
So that makes it 6 that I know of at present.</div>
<div>
I will keep posting pictures as soon as I get them</div>

In my mind a kayak is a thing of beauty. No matter the condition, be it brand new without a scratch or old and battered from years of use. Skin on frame or wood stripped, the natural lines, the sweeping bow, they all grip my imagination and take me to the sea.<br />
They may be simple looking but in actual fact are really very sophisticated sea going vessels. Originally designed as a hunting tool, now used for sport and recreation the basic design has not changed for hundreds of years.<br />
Variations abound and kayak builders produce works of art with every one that gets built.<br />

And not only are they a joy to look at, causing one to marvel at their beauty and admire the skill and patience of the builder, but they are also a wonder to paddle.<br />
Each kayak behaves differently but a skilled kayaker will instantly recognise how best to handle a particular kayak and get the best out of it on the water.<br />

Some of them seem too precious to take to the beach, subject them to the sand and stones, waves and rocks,but that`s what they are built for . Yes kayaks are built for hard work.<br />
The scratches bumps and wear and tear all attest to the perfection of the design. like a good book with signs of repeated readings, bent pages and cracked covers, these signs all make up the character of the kayak and prove its worth year after year.<br />
<br />
I can never just pass a wooden kayak on the beach without spending a while talking to the builder or owner. There is an instant bond made by the love and appreciation of a well built kayak between us.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">On reflection I can say that it was quite an achievement for the whole group . We managed to paddle against the wind and the waves for about 3 hours, it was not easy and we stayed together the whole time. No one capsized and we used our tow ropes to keep the group together.<br />Paddling in strong wind is a real challenge to kayakers, this time we had the wind against us, making it difficult to gain headway , but easier to maintain control and direction.Next challenge is to go with the wind, in a following sea, this is more difficult from a boat control point of view but if you have the experience you can use the waves and wind to your advantage.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I tried to keep it simple this time, making a kayak that fits the style of paddling I do and not getting too carried away with features that I never use. I decided on no skeg as I have never used one and have learned to paddle in all kinds of conditions without one, I felt that I could leave it out here too. Also very simple bungees on the deck, just enough to hold a water bottle or something else. In fact in rough water you don't really want anything on the deck as it will probably get washed away by a wave. Deck lines are an absolute must especially in rough water as there will always be that one time you are pulled out of your kayak and need something to hold on to . To keep the deck as simple as possible I used <a href="http://www.studiofurniture.com/diary/kayak/outfit/moroske/" target="_blank"> Maroske</a> fittings but gave in and put a holder for the Go Pro in the front and back .<br />The forecast for tomorrow is 1m surf, so here's hoping for a good day</span></td></tr>

You can visit his website and find a kayak for almost any style you want. Today the list is long but 10 years ago there were not so many different kayaks to choose from. I love my Night Heron, its a great kayak , fast and responsive , large enough for tripping and easy to roll, but not best for really rough water</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Then Nick designed the Petrel..It sounded great and looked good so I built myself one and it quickly became my most favored kayak. Just perfect in surf and rough water , quick enough on flat water and large enough for tripping. Seeing that I spend most of my time on the water in short time spans and don`t go for long trips this kayak has become my workhorse.<br />And then Nick brought out the Petrel Play, so guess whats going to be finished soon and added to the collection.<br /> Watch this spot for a new launch coming soon</span></td></tr>

Kayaking in the surf is a lot of fun, it`s exciting and excilerating and gives you a great adrenaline rush. I guess it becomes addictive at some time.
There is a downside though.
You need to practice playing in the surf a lot, you need to feel comfortable bracing and you need a good combat roll.
Its best to start off in small surf in a protected area and it helps if there is someone who can teach you and help you.
Slowly you begin to get more adventurous and head out into bigger surf, and heres where the potential for trouble shows up. Not to forget that even in small surf there is a potential for danger and damage. A kayak filled with water can inflict serious damage if you are between it and the beach with even small waves, a wrongly judged movement can cause shoulder or arm injuries and even head injuries are known to happen in small surf..
There are basic rules to be taken into account, for example, always be on the sea side of a swamped kayak, keep an eye on the surf, never turn your back on the waves and watch out for fellow kayakers or surfers or swimmers.Some wear helmets all the time, others forgo them , they can and do help but not always.
Above all take respoonsibility and control, Kayaking is a potentially dangerous sport and if you go out there in conditions you take the risk.
Yesterday I was reminded of all the above.
We went out to play in the rough water at our local beach, the surf was about 1.5 to 2M sometimes bigger. I had my helmet on as usual and my GOPRO on the front deck.
One of our guys had his hatch cover implode and his kayak got swamped, I pulled up next to him and began pumping . We were in the usually safe zone, just under the rock where the surf breaks. First mistake was not watching the surf, we were facing the beach. there was another kayaker watching us and he was seaward of us. A large wave loomed looking to break on us, A warning shout alerted us to the danger just as the wave threw his kayak ont us, we managed to abandon the pump, grab our paddles and brace fotr the wave but in the porcess I got hit on the back of my neck with his kayak. here the helmet didnt help at all, I managed to roll and brace in the surging wave and then went side surfing along until the wave lost its power. Just at the end i saw a surfer who had lost his board some time ago right in my line , I shouted to warn him but by then I was on top of him grazing him with my kayak.
The camera sees all and this whole episode was well recorded , look at .48 to 1.42 on the video.
At the end of the session we always try to get a good wave for finishing, Here I had another lesson and a reminder that the sea is the boss. I got flipped by a large wave and the force pulled me right out of my cockpit, I managed to do a reentry roll and then had to paddle a swamped kayak back to shore.
All in all it was a great day , and I cant wait to get back.

</div>
Winter is a great time to paddle here, the water gets down to about 13C, not very cold by Northern standards, but for us who are used to 30C in summer its pretty cold.<br />
To tell a secret, its not too cold to paddle , and we hardly miss a day on the water, except when the seas are too rough for the group to go our. And even then all the members with private kayaks and a sense of adventure get to play in the waves.<br />
Nowadays almost everybody has a GoPro camera attached to their kayak or helmet and the amount of videos is staggering. Unfortunately most are too long and because of the limitations of the Go Pro they tend to get tedious. You can loose your sense of perception, don't get to see how big the waves are really and have the same view all the time. Unless that is you are a bit more creative and can add takes from different cameras or views. Here's my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6alclJ1Xl_M&feature=share" target="_blank">contribution</a> and all the above criticism is valid.<br />

At the time I didn`t notice it had gotten free and only when landing on the beach saw that it was not on my kayak anymore. A short walk along the beach and a good look at the water convinced me that it was gone for good. Maybe with a bit of luck someone will find it and return it to me, but thats a long shot. <br />
It was a fine paddle with maple tips and I`m sorry to see it go, and now I have to make a new one. This time it will have my name and number carved into the blade, just in case.<br />
This is the first time that my spare has been torn loose, maybe I need to rethink how to secure it to the deck. It needs to be tight enough to resist rough water but easily retrieved while underwater and upside down if I loose my paddle while playing in the surf. I have seen many paddlers loose their paddles, being pulled from their grip while tumbling in a large wave, and one Greenland paddle actually broke in half from a particularly strong wave..<br />

Heres a picture of Zohar with my storm paddle, for me its a storm paddle but for Zohar its just the right length.<br />
The new paddle in the making, it will have a cedar core and paulonia laminated blade, it is also a bit shorter than the old one , so a sliding stroke will be used when paddling with it.<br />

Almost finished, just a few more coats of boat soup and then for a test paddle.<br />
<br />
Also have begun making a new kayak, this time its a stitch and glue<a href="http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/guillemot/catalog/boat_building_plans/petrel_play_sg_plans" target="_blank"> Petrel Play</a>, reputed to be great in rough water and surfing.<br />
You can either buy a whole kit or just go for the plans when building kayaks, Getting the kit is probably a bit more expensive, especially with postage , and for international shipping the price is in the sky. But there are advantages, the wood is cut very accurately and all the bits and pieces you need come ready packed and easy to use. On the other hand if you buy just the plans then you have to go about finding all the supplies, buying them and bringing them home and then transferring the paper plans to the wood, cutting out the pieces , drilling the stitch holes etc etc. It makes the whole process a bit more time consuming.<br />
This is not really a problem as kayak building is not something to be done in a hurry, especially if you have another kayak to use while the new one is being built. Sometimes it takes a bit of detective work to find all the right ingredients, sometimes they have to be bought on the internet, and sometimes you can get them from friends too.<br />

So as I have a great Petrel for playing in the surf there is no hurry and the new kayak will take as long as it needs<br />

So we all got together at 7 for some fun in the waves.<br />
Out at the rock, the surf was pretty big and messy, there were no surfers nor any SUPS out there today and this should have been a warning to us. Some stayed in the bay and practiced in the soup, others went out to sea for a trip and the rest of us stayed and played in the big waves .<br />
Soon we began to see kayakers swimming after being dumped by the big surf and we all had to help each other with rescues.<br />
I had 3 interesting rescues, first was retrieving a lost kayak and towing it back to the owner waiting patiently in the water, then a regular T rescue made interesting by being in the surf zone and finally while on my way out I saw a kayak on the beach but no kayaker in site. After looking around I spotted a swimmer in the water, I thought he would use the surf to get back to shore but after about 5 minutes I noticed he was not making any progress so I paddled over to see if he needed help.<br />
When I asked him if he was ok he replied NO, He was struggling to swim back to shore but was caught in a rip and was not making any headway. I had my GO PRO mounted on my rear deck and so could not get him to climb aboard, so thought the best thing would be to try and tow him in with my towrope. This turned out quite difficult as we were in the surf zone with waves breaking over us and progress was slow, then he hung onto my bow and I tried to paddle in reverse back to the shore, also dangerous as the waves were breaking over us and I feared he would be smashed into the bow of my boat. We did manage to get closer to shore but at some stage we separated and he was still on the rope. Communication was not possible because of the noise of the waves and at some stage the rope got tangled round his leg but he thought he would get to shore and then release it.<br />
I was being pounded by the surf at this stage and didnt know that he was tangled. I tried to call for assistance to 2 paddlers on the shore and eventually they saw us and came to help.<br />
Once on the beach we saw that the rope had gotten tangled round his leg and when the waves pulled the rope tight it caused a burn round his foot. Back at the club we treated him with aloevera and lots of support.<br />
Lessons learned ,<br />
Its very difficult to tow a swimmer with a rope, easier if you can get him on your rear deck, but for that you need a clear deck, once I had assembled my Go Pro on the back deck with a kayalu tripod, there was no way to get him up on the deck. I could have transferred him to a fellow kayaker but didnt think of it at the time.<br />
Its important to be aware of whats going on around you all the time and watch out for each other all the time. Never assume that everything is good,but go and check up on those who seem to be in trouble.<br />
I had my Go Pro on all the time and <a href="http://youtu.be/JODBPl99Q4M" target="_blank">heres</a> a video of todays adventure. the Kayalu monopod got pushed by the surf and some of the angles are a bit off but you can get a pretty good feeling of what went on.<br />

Usually there are at least one or two more people interested and so I get a small group of keen workers who want to make a new paddle.<br />
Most of them have no experience in paddle making, I guess its a rare hobby and there are not a lot of us out there.<br />
We start with a short discussion on the sizing of the paddle and then get down to work.<br />
