Bjørn Lunde is an engineer and works in Sandefjord. He built two kayaks during Autumn 2005! He built the first one during his evening classes with Kajakkspesialisten, and the other one in parallell at home in the basement. When the basement kayak was done, he picked it apart, cut the longest frame boards into shorter pieces, and packed everything into a suitcase. Then he travelled to Thailand, where he and his family have a vacation resort. In Thailand he put the frame together again and covered it with canvas. He had several fine trips there, and his rolling practice gathered numerous spectators.
