Cardboard Kayak Anyone?

Submitted by Bob H - Thu, September 3 » 2:01 PM

Thought some of y'alls might find this interesting. I believe CLC has a cardboard canoe project though I'd expect it to be a bit sleeker than this particular version of kayak,

About the cardboard Kayak, try the Harley Davidson dealer.

The motorcycles come in 8'X4' heavy boxes.

Reminiscient of the cardboard boat races at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival.

On a similar note, I believe the University of Wisconsin civil engineers have concrete canoe contest/races every year. Not as pretty as wood by a long shot though.

I hope the Harley Davidson cardboard boxes are better than the bikes they contain!

Oh Wordie!!!

This is a kayak site or we would be having our first cross words with one another. LOL I will admit that BMWs are nice bikes... for Old Ladies and Wimps. Hahahahaha

Touche, KK! But let me pose a question I read somewhere once - would you willingly climb aboard a large multi-engined aircraft that had big sign on the side 'Powered by Harley-Davidson'?

(I will willingly admit that BMW makes some of the UGLIEST bikes on the road... like my R1200GS, f'rinstance)!
