Monkcraft Kayaks is a specialized 'one monk' shop where I produce a limited number of hand built limited production high quality skin on frame Greenland Kayaks. My Greenland Skin Boats are precisely fitted to your body's size and shape, intended use for the kayak, skill level, aesthetic taste in kayak shape and how the kayak is fitted out.  

Why skin on frame? On the water, there is nothing like the lively feel of a skin boat silently gliding through the chop and how one can feel the waves through the skin as the frame subtly dances and reacts wonderfully to each wave. It feels like you are part of the water. They feel organic and alive! These qualities make for a much more intimate experience between you and the water. Compare the experience of a hand build skin kayak and a commercial boat, and your heart will be lost to the skin boat. They truly are the thoroughbred of kayaks with 3,000 years of real life R&D behind them in Greenland.

With a Monkcraft Kayak, you will enjoy the pleasure of owning a very special, unique and gorgeous limited production kayak built to order just for you. All for a reasonable price. It is with great respect and pleasure that I help continue the tradition of the Greenland skin kayaks into our modern era.

MONKCRAFT ON RETREAT

Greetings friends!
I am currently in a year long meditation retreat and am not building kayaks. I highly recommend Brian Shultz at Cape Falcon - www.capefalconkayak.com. Let him know Lodru sent you. He can build you a great kayak or offer you a class. The - www.skinboats.com is a great source of classes, advice and SOF materials and skins. Also check out www.qajaqusa.org for more information.
And be sure not to miss out on all the great Skin-on-Frame kayak info at www.seawolfkayak.com. Kilii has put together a very nice sight, including a great video of the construction of a kayak in 70 seconds!


May all be well and happy!

Lodru
