When a design passes the test of time (and this basic Inuit kayak design has been around for 4,000 years now), you know it’s one that works. Although, the O Six Hundred Kayak, by Ben Cooper and Andrew Simpson of The Balmain Boat Company, does boast a few modern details, and has been recognized and awarded the Good Design Award for good reason. Lightweight carbon fabric and a 30-piece frame that you can snap together yourself without the need for tools make it an ultra-easy, ultra-lightweight project that’ll get you out there on the water this summer. (And we know that’s where you want to be.)
