Vietnamese strip built kayaks?

I was surfing for toy ships and found these folks - they build extremely elaborate ship models and a couple of full sized kayaks and canoes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow, I am.

Frank,

The canoe and kayak were in the front of the Framingham Home Goods Store for about 4 months. I examined the workmanship and was extremely impressed. Retail prices seemed high. The kayak displayed was 15' long and had no skeg or rudder.
