Hi!

I´m building my first kayak at the moment. I´m planning on building more and now I´m wondering whether there´s a suitable design for my father. He´s stuck to his wheelchair and cannot move his legs at all. Despite that, he´s very active. He drives the car of the family and move himself in and out of the car by lifting himself from and to the wheelchair.

Is there anyone who have seen a kayak for a disabled person or having ideas? I´d be grateful to take part of that.

Greatings,
Kristina Jakobsson
