For this latest rib bending video I took a different approach, I started off rusty, having not bent a kayak in about six months, and used some old, dried out rib stock.
The idea here was to mimic the student experience where I would end up making some mistakes and then make a second video for how to fix them.
I’ve never had much difficulty making mistakes so it turned out like I had hoped and we had a handful of common issues that I then fixed on camera at the end. Here I’m bending a replacement rib in the center of the kayak where one of the bends was just a bit too slack.
