[Paddlewise] Too Light?

A friend is a light boat fanatic.  He has, for example, a 38 lb Kevlar Seda
Swift.  When paddling in waves the boat flexes like a fabric boat.  The deck
can be flexed with a finger.  He does not use it loaded on expeditions but
does paddle rough water.  He swears it is plenty strong enough.

How light is too light?
