Not everyone has a vehicle that can carry an OC, so some have been working on the idea of a folding model. Here’s one of the latest prototypes. I know how it comes apart, but not sure how it goes back together. Duct tape?

Not laughing at him at all. We wish that we could brag about doing it to our canoes (just wouldn’t want to deal with a wrecked canoe).

Monday : Broken V1

Friday : Fixed !

Gary Danielson, a surfboard shaper and father of Maitai Danielson (Matairea Hoe and former Fare Ara paddler) fixed the V1 for me. Thanks Gary.
