I think you mean a 'waveski' by 'surf canoe'. Surfskis (aka oceanskis) developed out of the 'spec skis' (long and thin, often with a wave deflector on the bow) that lifesaving clubs use. They are mostly used for racing and downwind surfing and it's small but growing niche of paddlesports. http://oceanski.org.uk/ |

No idea really, I thought 'ski' involved being towed by a powerboat, or a jwetski. I think our local lifesaving paddlers call their craft 'sleds'? Complex business, this 'no sails' malarkey. There are some very short ones and some very long ones! Something in between that doesn't weigh half a ton or fall apart first time the sun hits it might be of interest. Confused of Devon. :-)

Yep, its a pretty confusing bunch of names...
 Depending on your budget, and definition of 'a ton', I'd recommend an Epic V6 - my other half has had one for years and it is the best of all worlds - fast, stable, carries kit, pretty robust and about 16kg (I think you can get down to 12kg for the more expensive version). Epic UK are based near Tiverton. Jim will be able to sort you out with a demo...

We need a separate section for you goat boaters, should come under a separate heading 'Retarded Water Users' springs to mind you could have other joiners like Stand Up Paddleboarders and talk about the sores you get from your underbiting habit.

Back from a date with the Portstar.
Looks OK, built quality looks good and some nice details. There are some oddities, it has a reverse snub nosed bow which looks on vogue from the front but looking from the helms position looks plain ugly. The winds are covered in cork, waste product from all the Port corks. The bung is just weird, almost sticking vertically upwards. The rudder is mounted on a tower, with no access hatch. The traveler is a fixed length and oddly knotted and spliced. The X in carbon that forms the mast gate looks cool but ultimately will need UV treatment eventually. The dagger board trunk ends only a few cm above the deck but the board travels up and is supported by the carbon X but only the very from few cm, it feels structurally strange.
