My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzfaq.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

My first SOF Kayak was a resurrection of a "Crossbreed" originally made in New Brunswick, Canada. Learned so much just from this video, I am likely to try another SOF Kayak in the future. The kayak rolls we breath taking and executed at a level and calmness that made me watch that segment over and over.

That is a beautiful Kayak, built to perfection. I love seeing people who create magnificent builds like these. It is a sense of therapy as well as admiration.

Words are not enough to describe how much I appreciate your craftsmanship, not only in making kayaks, but also the video is beautifully edited

You make it look so easy. So I'm saving this as encouragement for when I'll get bogged down making mine.

Beautiful job and I have never seen anyone purposely try to capsize before but twas done with the utmost grace and elegance bravo good sir 🧐

Magnifique ! Très beaux savoir-faire... tradition et passion. Merci pour cette très belle transmission avec nous !

Wow. What a great little surprise at the end! That was awesome!

Fascinating, a beautiful kayak. Watching the rolls brought back boyhood memories.

Wow you just took my creativeness to a much lower level

The pleasure and joy of building and or making things with a person own hands 🧡, is beyond my ability to express

Your workshop is in good order. It's nice to see that. You are good at what you are doing. I wish you success and creativity.

Ooh doggy, that is the sweetest video I’ve seen all year. That guy is on another level, he’s part man, part kayak. I’m surprised the Greeks haven’t adopted him and created a Deity. Sir, you are a true craftsman, sending regards and best wishes from Essex GB. Stay groovy.

It is a pleasure to see a craftsman at work!

Great job, thanks for the great motivational videos, I decided to make content on woodworking and I did it thanks to you!

Ein wunderbares Video von einem Bootbau-Künstler. Von jetzt an sehe ich solche Boote in einem anderen Licht. Super, danke vielmals für diese Einsicht in dieses Handwerk.

Wonderful. Nice example of how to build a greenland kayak. Of course you make it look easy.

Wonderfull craftmanship! Beautiful!

WOW! What an absolutely gorgeous kayak; in 1924, when my Dad was just 20 years old, he was offered the position of Wireless Operator on a Canadian Government Expedition aboard the CGS Arctic, a sail AND coal powered wooden ship that was mastered by Captain Joseph E. Bernier, a venerable and long time explorer on behalf of Canada. During the 3 month trip my Dad got a chance to try out an Inuit-made kayak, exactly like your kayak, at Pond Inlet and after his successful paddle he was presented with a beautiful hand-made 26" model with all the fittings, which I now cherish in memory of his trip......he LOVED the Far North!

i find this so calming and pleasing to watch. i want to build this now

Sir, you are an artist!

What else is there to say than WOW! What a fantastic beautiful creation!

What mastery. Thank you for sharing this video. I made a Chesapeake Bay 17 foot kayak out of stitched lauan plywood and epoxied fibreglass in 1998 but yours is a true tribute to the Inuit people who invented kayaks for hunting to survive. Your West Greenland model is the finest I have seen retaining most of the original traditional methods of building the frame and skinning it albeit with modern fibreglass instead of seal skin. You tinted the fibreglass to resemble the seal skin and sized it to fit you like a glove. Your rolling the kayak was truly awesome and almost artistic. And your pants were dry when you got out. How perfect is that.

C’est juste magique! Ça donne envie, et quel savoir-faire! Good job! Congratulations from 🇫🇷

Beautifully crafted....I am as well impressed by the ease of your eskimo roll.

amazing very thorough work, I am a boat builder very amazed by your way, very good work🇮🇩

I'm back again with MAJOR kudos to you for such an outstanding 'build', beautifully videoed AND audioed; just a GEM of a presentation! I owned a 16' Peterborough-built cedar strip canoe for over 40 years, but your stunning kayak is light-years beyond it in both construction AND beauty.

Love the craftsmanship. A work of art.

Bravo maestro questa è ARTE!!! Complimenti 👍

Absolutely beautiful work. One day I would love to paddle a skin on frame kayak. Who knows, maybe even build one. I have watched many of Cape Falcon Kayak videos, and they are all very impressive.

Amazing build followed by some impressive paddle skills

Thanks for sharing this adventure, awesome craftsman

This is art in its purest form, deep respect!!!

Astonished by your art sir, both as craftsmanship and as roller. Well done 👍

A seriously cool video and a class piece of artisanship for a super duper kayak!!

Wow that’s cool watching making this craft

Excellent work! Appreciation, thanks so much! (Special thanks for presentation of eskimo capsize-recover turning!)

This is work of art!!! 😱

Absolutely beautiful fantastic job love the video thanks for sharing

Luar biasa, kerja yang sangat rapi indah dan teliti. Dan hasilnya sungguh luar biasa, sangat memperhatikan keamanan pemakainya 👍👍

De la patience et de la précision, belle pièce !!! Bravo

Success comes after hardwork. Nice video👌

Very nice. The music compliments your build.

This is ART, mate. Congrats !

Wow! Beautiful and amazing works good job! The best DIY kayak

Incredibly beautiful !

Wow wow wow first time seeing . Marvellous workmanship sir.

What a beautiful boot! My compliments!

All it takes to create one of the most seaworthy craft ever invented it to cut the chamfer in the ends of the two main strakes, tie them firmly and force apart with stringers. That’s your master design shape. It’s all in that chamfer. Absolutely Miraculous.

Great work; very informative,,,enjoyed flipping the boat!

Absolutely amazing 😻

Amazing kayak

Wow!! This guy is amazing. He's a craftsman and an athlete. This was pure pleasure to watch. Thank you!!

Excellent! I was reading George Dyson's book about his father's atom bomb powered space ship and he compares space exploration to kayak building, which left me scratching my head, but it all makes sense!

Nice work from a beautiful person ❤️

Good to see you Brian! Takes me back to the week spent at the old barn with you building ours. Great times. Pete & young Pete

Wow wow is all I can say I am a kayaker also fantastic workmanship till you take pride and your work and you should thanks for posting

Дуже гарне відео,від створення до іспитів.Thank you.

Wow, the kayak is poetry and the music exquisite.

Amazing work! Thank you for the inspiration 👍

Excellente vidéo de démonstration de la construction d'un canoé fait main sur mesure, de l'art, il faut du temps de la Patience et de la volonté très beau projet il faut aussi un local pour travailler convenablement ! Mais ,il sera solide car vous utilisez du tissu de verre de la résine et du rowing etc. .vous avez effectué un excellent travail une fois fini .à partager avec tous les personnes qui pratiquent du canoé. Félicitations.

For those who are able to see and appreciate the beauty of fine craftsmanship they need go no further than this. I have the highest respect for this kind of endeavour; it combines knowledge skill and TLC to culminate in a craft which is a joy to behold, and, I don't doubt to use. I would like to make some general comments, and to express some personal views and prejudices. I was amazed at how the hull frames, bent by a combination of hand and eye were able to be formed with such exactitude that they could be assembled in a ' fair ' shape, that is without humps and hollows when the stringers were attached. I admired the way in which modern techniques were applied to the time -honoured manner deriving from the original Inuit techniques. That however stopped short as I saw the use of fibreglass cloth, followed by the liberal use of of synthetic resins. I did like the way it was sewn - again a retention of original techniques. One assumes that these modern materials are used as a result of the lack of availability of raw seal skin ! But in my opinion it would have been more desirable to use materials not so far from the original and ones which aren't potential health risks to the builders. All this should make us respect the more the earlier Inuit who did all this with animal bone and drift wood, working without the benefit of power tools, and with the most rudimentary cutting tools probably working on an open beach. It was most appropriate that the piece should end with a demonstration of how kayaks are intended to be used. That is by a highly skilled pilot who needs a highly manoeuvrable craft able to chase his nimble prey. It is not inappropriate to compare these craft with modern-day fighter aircraft which are designed to fly an a knife-edge of stability, computer controlled, which is the only way that they can be operated to do the job for which they both kayak and aircraft, are required..

Une merveille ! Bravo au constructeur...

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Beautifully done

Looks to be as stable as a 3 legged stool. Glad he kept popin back upright. Sure is a beautiful piece.

Very good technical & function.Well done sir 👌✨
