My four-year old son asked-- unprompted!-- to be a kayaker for Halloween this year. Of course, wanting to encourage his interest as much as possible, I ended up spending way to much time making as realistic a costume as possible, notwithstanding river funk and stale beer smell.
I went with a playboat design, which in his words, "is the best because of the cool flips you do and get all wet". I should have a bit more bow rocker and volume in the center to help him him get vertical, but only so much I could do with costco diaper box. Note the pyranha paint scheme and werner double-diamond style paddle. Anyway, what costume would be complete without a little PP nod?

You could join up with Harms and make a cardboard Topo Duo!!! Of course when the kids started fighting over candy they would probably tear it in half !!!! |

I think you have just inspired the kayak community to settle down and have kids..maybe the mini keens, add a nice touch |
