Great color. We went a little darker. Must be a teenager thing.
The seapup kayak is my daughters. She has been paddling it since she was ~12. We had to reskin last year (oysters at SSTIKS are hard on vinyl) and made a change to the section placement to accomidate her almost 6' height. She still loves the kayak, but is waiting for me to make her a longer one (not much wider though :) ).
