I recommend Raka also. I checked around and couldn't find a local source that could beat Raka. Shipping on the fiberglass is not that much. I live in Tacoma where there is boatbuilding going on here and over in Gig Harbor, but nobody could sell it for less than Raka. I've been happy with their glass and epoxy. Prices are so good, I can build a kayak with a toatal cost of under $125.
