The first little PBK 10


This is the first kayak that I built. It is an 11 foot PBK 10, had an 28 in. beam and 3 in. draft. Being so short it tended to yaw a lot when paddling. In the short but sometimes high waves of the Lake of Two Mountains it behaved wonderfully. It bobbed like a cork and I remember that it was a fabulous experience paddling among big waves.
