After blowing the first picture up and rotating it, all I could think of was Marlborough Sounds though not which beach. Then reading your next message confirmed it. There's something about the NZ bush, even if not in sharp focus (resolution) that is unmistakable if one knows it.

We only build New Zealand designed kayaks (mine) and always paddle touring kayaks. I'm 3 decades older, about 2 kilo lighter and an inch taller. My present kayak is 5 m by 510 mm, the narrow version of the Mac50 which is 620 mm beam. Note, unfortunately they are all S&G and yes, we use Norski epoxy, just down the road from you.
