: the compete time and she left me in the dust.I would like to
: build a light sit on top that could at least keep up, but that
: may be impossible.How is the mystery?And are there any others?

G'Day Kirk,

Do a google search for timber surfskis. that will get you started.

Bjorn Thomasson's sea racer. he used this as a platform for the nordic fusion ski.

Pax 20 for a quick S&G ski. (have built one of these.)

A few kayakfoundary designs at blueheronkayaks. Some of which have been built.

biggest design challenge for a ski is the cockpit.

cheers, Craig
