Supi, back off! Here's the O Six Hundred ultralight kayak from Australia, which brings back to modern culture a 4,000-year-old Eskimo boat design made of a wood/bone frame over which a stitched animal skin was stretched. The modern version is made of 30 pieces of arawakaria - an evergreen tree native to Australia - and carbon fiber and weighs only 10 kilograms, but is still as strong as oak.
About Six Hundred it is a kayak with a 4000-year-old design in a modern guiseand from futuristic materials. Animal skin (The Eskimos who drove the "originals" used seal skin) and bony framework thus remained a thing of the past, and they replaced them Arawakaria (it is made of 9 millimeter plywood) and transparent carbon canvas (a material also used in bulletproof vests and competitive sails). Well, in terms of shape and structure, this Australian kayak is the original as similar as an egg to an egg.

The O Six Hundred kayak, which is the child of an industrial designer Andrew Simpson and the merchant Ben Cooper, let's assemble quick and easy like Ikea furniture, and we slide with it on a river, sea or lake as the Eskimos did in the Bronze Age. It is one of the lightest kayaks on the market, certainly with the oldest design, but it doesn't work at all after time. Some forms are just eternal.
