Hereby general descriptions of some of the kayak types most commonly built in classes or by order. Remember that tailoring is a key word in skin on frame kayak building, and that the possibilities are almost endless. Length, depth and width is always adjusted to the paddler. So is the cockpit size, and the question of whether or not you want hatches on your kayak.
There are more than 25 known original arctic kayak designs. From Siberia to East Greenland. And variations of these. Often we get questions about special tasks. Like A folding qajaq to take to the the qajaqing world championship in Greenland. Or a special tiny double kayak for one paddler and a dog. An especially light or a very spacious kayak. Sometimes a museum or exhibition orders a replica of a specific historical kayak.
There are really no limits, so when you wish to choose a kayak type, you should first think well through your needs. And look out for what you find beautiful.
