I keep toying with the idea of building one. Perhaps we ought to organise a canoe-building weekend.

Not that hard. Though time is another issue.

a couple of hours training and common sense will help but they are fairly easy ,not as naughty as rowing boats or coracles

Thats a good price - even if bought at the buy it now price.

I have an Ocean Scupper Pro Angler for sale at present for more than that, and the tarpon is more expensive to buy new.

Kayak fishing on the sea is a very different kettle of fish than on a lake or river. I have been kayak fishing on the sea for just over 4 years and am happy to take anyone out for some safety practice and to show them the dos and donts.

There is a safe practice lake a few miles from here which is available most days, and plenty of safe beaches with no major tidal races to practice off. Happy to help any beginners that want to bring their kayaks over to west Wales, and self catering or B and B accommodation also available.
