Talisman for kayakers If you are lost in a strange land trade your Shinykayaks piece for food and shelter. |
In the not so distant past a silver kayak pendant was created during the adventures of Steve Ugg. He left his kayak with an Artesan in the Andes and asked for it to be copied in miniature. He then assisted in the final design before making a small quantity. These were then sold to help fund his river adventures.
