My New Toy

The newest, latest and shiniest toy in my arsenal arrived just the other day. I'm now the proud owner of a Valley Surf Kayaks Rush 7/2. I had this little beauty custom made for me. Its built in the lightest and stiffest, Vac bagged Carbon Kevlar lay up, with a foam core deck and hull for extra stiffness without extra weight. When built, the guys at Valley weighed it and reckoned the shell (no foam seat, or pillar) came to about 9.5 kg. That's seriously light!

All it needs now is a few bit of foam here and there to pad it out, and then it'll be time to hit the waves!
