Last May I modified some kayak parts into a 16 foot prototype called the Reflection. In September that kayak was turned into a plug to make a mold for production. The first kayak was completed Tuesday and I paddled it yesterday.

I documented the process in time lapse videos of roughly a minute each.

The first time lapse video shows the building process. Those curious about the plug and mold making process can continue down through the rest.

This is not intended as a commercial post though I do want to acknowledge that this was accomplished at Sterlings Kayaks and it is now a production kayak for him.
