Well, Prijon makes the Seayak, which is appropriate, if not terribly creative. Of course, their classic WW boat is the Hurricane, which seems out of place in Middle Tennessee and places like that. My own boat is appropriately named for a person who tends to exaggerate his paddling exploits. It's a Sea Lion. A few weeks ago, when we stayed too long on Cumberland Island and had to do a stealth crossing of the St Mary's River (just downstream of the nuclear sub base) in the gathering dark I would have been happy to be paddling a Dagger Vesper ('vespers': prayers said in the early evening). As far as new boats, I'm waiting for a surf kayak called the Broacher and a new folder called the Crease. Barbara mentioned the Flipper, which is designed as a women's boat. The men's version is the Flippim.
