Classes Schedule
2007
The new curriculum for 2007 is focused on two very different kayaks, a remarkably versatile West Greenland historical replica, and the SC-1, a unique modern sea kayak I adapted from an existing fiberglass design. To contrast the choices click the links below. Also this year, I will not be mixing kayaks in classes, meaning that only one design can be built per session. I did this to streamline the sessions making them significantly shorter per day, and more fun. Of course, the fit of each kayak is still fully customizable.

Below are the dates for 2007 classes
Classes fill FAST so try to get your request in if interested. Spaces will be awarded as the messages land in my inbox. If you're an east coast person and miss a class, consider coming to the west coast. Manzanita is stunning, classes are 200 dollars cheaper here, and it only costs 200 dollars to ship a kayak home. To streamline the information exchange, when you register, I only need your name and phone number, and the date/location of the class. After that I'll email you a course syllabus and ask for a deposit. Good luck, see you in 2007!

Want a class in your area? Let me know so we can start putting it together. I also do private classes for people wanting to build special projects or work with friends, the cost is the same, but I need to get it on the schedule.
