In Response To: Kevlar impact resistance (Ray)

Ray, some builders such as Eddyline have very light and delicate Kevlar layups and they say as much in their marketing. Other builders make bomber kevlar graphite boats. Extra material can be added, and some Northwest guides have Kevlar kayaks that weigh as much as glass ones, but you can stand on the decks! Most high performance surf kayaks are Kevlar Graphite, and Foam layups. Current Designs are good boats, but I'm not sure how they do Kevlar - Take care MH
