"Matt’s 13-7 pack build, Burlington, Vermont"Continue readingAuthor: Matt Golden
Matt Golden lives and works in Burlington Vermont. He is an acupuncturist and boatbuilder and has been building skin on frame canoes since 2015. He is an avid canoeist and backcountry skier: winters find him exploring the Green Mountains on skis and holing up in his shop building boats, exploring form shape and materials, and dreaming of water. Spring summer and fall he keeps at building boats and heads across the lake to the Adirondacks - a paddler’s paradise - as often as possible. He enjoys paddling single blade canoes: putting form into motion, interacting with water and wind, travelling and camping in the wilderness. Matt is in the early stages of building professionally, and is happy to talk boats.
