The LPB Kayak Design, in Detail

- In this video we talk about the our other modern skin on frame kayak design, The LPB. The LPB is narrower and faster than the F1, but not as versatile.
Plans and video instruction on how to build this boat are available at cape-falcon-kayak.thinkific.com/

Brian, after having paddled my LPB for 13 seasons, I must say you captured it all. Since I spend all my time inside the cockpit, it was fun to see aerial drone videos of the LPB it man6 situations and modes… and fun to see it paddling next to an F1 (like my paddling buddy built). I can say that I could not be happier with the LPB. And 12.5 years later I am still accepting compliments on the look/speed of the boat and I explain the building process and materials at least once a week (still). Thanks for a great design and workshop. BTW, my LPB is a little “pointier” as you experimented with a subtle built up point that makes it look sleeker still. I’ll email a photo.
Yeah, Long Performance Boat!! Love it! I agree with John Barry, those aerial shots are just so beautiful! It's a great design and edges like a dream! Thanks, Brian, I always learn so much every time you post!
When I started to watch your videos a few years ago, I thought that the peaked deck design looks kind of weard but I really do love it now for it look and practical advantages
Lindo projeto 👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I think Long Performance Boat would be a really good name change actually.
Parabéns
2023 I’m saving for plans and materials.
2024 I’m buying and building.
That is a fine looking boat. Very eloquent,… that aesthetic counts for something, right? The F1 is more practicable in almost every way, but damn! The LPB is Pulp Fiction’s version of a $5 milkshake.
insane analogy, love it! 🤣😎
❤️💯👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
Your sizing chart only goes up to 240 pounds. What would you recommend for, say, 265?
I’ve recently made some major changes in the way I am sizing the larger versions of these kayaks. Basically, I figured out a way to make a custom scale for any size and as people request different sizes, I’m adding them to the plan sets. The only challenge with the LPB is that it gets a bit challenging to build in the largest sizes because you have to find lumber that is very long and perfectly straight with perfectly even flex. For this reason when people get over about 230 pounds, I tend to steer them towards the F1 design, which has a little better stability and doesn’t require quite as long as lumber. For example, the new 250 lb size F1 is 16’ long. If you’re not gonna be loading it down heavily or doing a bunch of camping, that might actually be perfect for you. Feel free to email me and we can chat more about it.
@@capefalconkayak thanks for the info. I gotta say, you're one of the few TH-camrs who takes the time to answer questions in a respectful and helpful way, and it's always appreciated.
@@capefalconkayakthanks for keeping us bigger dudes in mind, I've been trying to find a good kayak design for someone my size (pushing 260lbs), and I keep coming back to your kayaks. I really appreciate you making the designs more scalable. That said, I really want to build one rigged for sailing, so between the F1 and LPB, which do you think performs better under sail?
Beautiful kayak.
One would wonder why anyone would use a wooden paddle when there are carbon fiber paddles that are far lighter and more effective.
I made a whole video that goes into detail on the subject that’s part of my Greenland paddle building series. If you go to the following link:
th-cam.com/video/TrLP9bolmqU/w-d-xo.html
And then start around 3:15, I talked a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Greenland paddles. The short answer is that efficiency is identical in the weight is pretty close too (I’m usually around 1 lb. 10 oz.) What I like about them is that the design is a lot easier on your body and they are much easier to roll with. What is nice because it flexes a little better than carbon fiber, which creates a noticeable difference in paddle feel, but I’m not a purist. I use a variety of different kinds of paddles just depending on the type of boating I’m doing. For me it’s just about using the right tool for the job.
@@capefalconkayak Watched your video. Been kayak fishing since 2007. I stick by my original statement. My favorite paddle is 250 CM.
