Process
Starting with speed-form sketches, I explored hydrodynamic silhouettes while maintaining functional proportions. Quick physical prototypes helped refine the profile, volume, and overall balance of the kayak body.
Through iterative 3D-printed prototypes, I tested the hand-contact areas of the paddle, refining the side profile, grip angle, and form to find the most natural and comfortable holding position.
