What about the "Snot and Rags" sea kayak (a tribute to L. Francis Herreshoff's comment about fiberglass boats. :-) Or, maybe the "Flippen und Rollen" Sea kayak for German paddlers. :-) I like the Redneck for all those who forget to wear their Tilley hats and drink beer at camp. :-) I see a great new world of appropriately named sea kayaks. We could work on the canoe people too. God knows I am sick of all those silly Indian names for canoes that Canadian canoe manufacturers come up with. Surprised the Indians don't sue for defamation of character or something.
