Going along with Nel's suggestion of gluing neoprene on the the deck, another possibility would be gluing on felt. Felt is used up here on the soles of fishing shoes/boots and enables reasonable trac ...

Poobah,

The hand/washboard might be just the ticket to more frequent visits to the coast. Certainly, if I promised to complete a load of wash while on my journey, my spouse would be much more supp ...

Thanks for tip, Poobah.

I like the inner-tube filled canvas boat. I had once considered using narrow bicycle tubes for the rails of a small surfcraft.

Regarding the noisy metal paipos...I rea ...

Kage and Mr. Mike,

Very nice rides you both have. Thanks for sharing. I have always entertained the idea of owning a Squareback, but the right deal has yet to present itself. As for Double Cabs. ...

I have breached the subject with my family, but a final decision will have to wait until early summer. I will, however, start lubing-up one of the old buses just in case.

I guess this is a VW thread, as well. I've been thinning the herds, but still have a '65 Sundial camper, '72 Westfalia, '82 diesel Westfalia and a '68 Ghia.

"Anybody having fun?"

More so than ever, with a 7 month old and 2.7 year old to look after. My son rode his first waves a week ago, albeit on ten inch boat wakes. Quite exciting for the both of u ...

Hey Poobah,

It's nice to see this topic surface again. I've considered a few simple arrangements that are unlikely to function beyond the spheres of my mind. But, here they are anyway:

Hello Poobah and Swordie,

Yes, I have had my feelers out for old windcraft for some time. As of yet, however, none have been found at my price-point...free.

Thanks for sharing your creation, S ...

Thanks for the reply, salty sage. I guess I figured as much. With another child due any day, I am looking ways to cut corners in vessel construction. I cannot let go of the kneeboard/C-1 concept, b ...

Hope the seemingly endless high pressure has been treating you well. My question is regarding a cheap 7'4" waveski I noticed for sale in the area. Of all the craft I've paddled, I've never used one ...
