[Paddlewise] Help - Kayak Identification

Yesterday at Mission Bay, San Diego I saw an unusual kayak - Very light weight
- Easy to lift with one hand - Made out of kevlar - With an unusual crossing
pattern in the hull - About a dozen strands of material at a time running in
one direction and a dozen running another way in a heringbone pattern.  Un
painted.

The owner indicated that this was a whitewater racing kayak about 14 years
old..  It had no floation, bulkheads, at all - The boat had a foreign sounding
name and had an usual flare at the bow line just astern of the paddler.  The
top of the kayak had a pronounced grove running down the center of the top of
the craft.

Of course, I asked and promptly forget all the information about the boat.

HELP - Can anybody Identify this boat from this meger description.
