Ok so for the ones who just can not get past the dam title lol, the ideas and how to build out of just common every day items to build a couple of paddle boats and a kayak are amazing ways to show that anybody can do this with minimal tools and materials good job, as for the foam at least your keeping sealed up in most unlike all the fast food and other containers floating around, at least ur recycling some of the materials. Anyhow my 2 cents keep up the good work! Loved the video

6.30 has to be the next OLYMPIC discipline :))

I recently visited Halong bay in Vietnam, which was full to the brim of styrofoam pieces floating everywhere, from mm to a few meters in size (rabbit 💩 size to 12 bananas for our American friends) so I'd argue it's a really really bad idea

Foam(m), fiberglass, glue, and a lot of ingenuity serves the project "environmental nightmare" ? I'm not seeing
how you even put that in the title except as a "gaff" to get views but I will say that this is very interesting to see. Using
hot-wires to cut foam is very kool & save a lot of time once you get the electric setup properly so the wire doesn't get
so hot it breaks off. That said, this has given me the groundwork to build one a little larger but forget pedaling for
there's a lot of small gas motors or get a small 4Stroke motor for bicycles & add a shaft -n- prop to
move you. I think it would surprise people just how easy this could become a real boat you'd use? His design is
sharp but I doubt it would be good on a boat w/ a motor unless you swept the wings backwards more. Designs
are easy so I want to know what type of foam they used here & why? Strengthening the connected pieces with
wooden dowels was smart as well.... these guys have been building surfing stuff or other boards for a while
b/c they've got all the hand-made cutting wires perfected. Thanks for the video but where is their channel
links? I'd really like to check them out? peace

You should title this reinventing the wheel..

Environmental nightmare? Do you know what goes into producing a comercial lake cruiser, fishing boat or row boat? Not to mention medium to large yachts or sailboats? These are NOTHING in comparison.

Wouldn't it have been better to not line up seam to seam? Seems you'd have a very weak point there.

If you want to see better work search for asians making boats out of junk
