kayaking skills workshop social

Hello UTSOACers!

Join me on Tuesday for a paddle down the rabbit hole of DIY packraft making. You can save a motza if you’re prepared to wield a $5 silicon roller and $30 leather iron to weld your own seams. It’s surprisingly easy and once you master seam welding you’ll be thinking of what else you can DIY – sleeping mats, bum cushions, cags, dry bags (not that I’ve made any of those yet *).

There’ll be demonstrations, stories of scandal, the shady world of sourcing fabrics and maybe some amusing DIY stories from long ago if I need to fill in time.

* Full disclosure, I’ve not actually completed building a packraft yet (they take ages to finish) – but I have to soon because I’m paddling theColo in three weeks.
