2007 White Black Pearl, NC
White-colored Black Pearl built for John M. in North Carolina during the Spring of 2007.
The Black Pearl is a long, low and narrow kayak of East Greenland ancestry – extremely easily handled, instantly reacting to shift of weight, leaning etc, and with enough secondary stability to support leaned turns, balance brace and such. It is very easily rolled.
