Peter Casson has been working in the outdoor business for twenty years. As Kayak Guide and outdoor recreation specialist and is now director of the Kayak School for EMS, Eastern Mountain Sports in Lincoln Woods, Rhode Island.

A native of England, he spent his childhood in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District walking the mountains and hills with his family. At the ripe age of 8, Peter began kayaking and soon proceeded through the British Canoe Union syllabus. By his early 20’s he was instructing in Bavaria and the Hertz Mountains in Germany on both white water and flat water. Before completing his 14 years with the British Army he found time to sail the west coast of Scotland and explore much of the British coastline in a sea kayak.

Once arriving in the States in 1999 he had the opportunity to work with the American Canoe Association and achieve Advanced Open Water Instructor Trainer status to complement his British Canoe Union Coach 4 Sea Award and Coach 3 River and a Level 3 Assessor.

I have studied boat design and owned many boats
through my 67 years, often one or two boats bought
and sold annually. Yours is the most original that I ever
have seen. The setup and instant pop-out are
amazing.
As a fisherman who loves to squeeze into smaller less
available lakes, your boat looks neat. However, it
probably is not practical for fishing. But I can dream.
Do you sell plans or the complete boat? Might be fun
to have one.

In reply to Bob; thank you for your positive comment.
Have you seen all of the videos ?
See this one in Particular:

My two sons and I have stood up within one of our over
40 or so prototypes and have rocked it violently from
side to side without capsizing the craft. That version
has an interior cabin space of 26 inches by 10 feet.
My wife and I have gone out on a lake many times in
one craft with a battery, trolling motor, fishing poles and
an ice chest. We have also clamped two boats
together with my wife and daughter in one craft, and
myself and the motor and battery and other items
being within the second and attached craft.

There are now suppliers of corrugated plastic who
carry the material in 5 foot by 14 foot lengths, and so
should produce a 38 inch wide by 12 foot craft.
Serious dedicated fishing ? – Maybe not . . . but for
spur of moment fishing . . . oh yeah, its good.
Eventually within the major box type stores, you may see pallets of our folded no-parts water crafts with their attached means of propulsion being the folding oars. We are open to capital investment to fund the proper course.
Thank you again for your positive comment,
and congratulations on your ability to see potential.
