More Facebooking

May 17, 2011

I recently wrote about the growing Folbot community on Facebook  (please “like” us there!).

One of the daily features has become the posting of a “Folbot Mystery Photo” where people try to identify what’s in the photo — which all have something to do with Folbot or the kayaks. The answers range from serious to funny — we’ve even had one of the posters insisting that the picture was of an alien worm from outer space (I don’t think she was serious).

Today’s photo is a favorite of mine — it captures the joy of a successful first assembly of a Folbot kayak.

The challenge on Facebook was, “What is the actual purpose of the ‘Robin Hood hats’ that these gentlemen are wearing? Do you know?”

Do you?

There are so many parts and pieces used to make expedition quality Folbot kayaks that I could do this all day!

Name That Photo

There are always interesting things to see when walking through the Folbot factory. There are kayaks in all stages of manufacturing — from the raw materials to the finished boat.

Do you know what this is?

Winner gets to bask in the glow of knowing they were correct.

February 4, 2011

In the 4th round of Folbot Jeopardy, contestants had to identify this mystery photo:

The correct answer (properly phrased in the form of a question) is: What are the polycarbonate crossframes used in the Folbot kayak frames before they were replaced by aircraft grade aluminum?

Thanks to all the contestants for playing!
