.. Checking German's www.zoelzer.de web site I discover they are developing new kayak technology. Amazing ! ...

Ralph Hoehn: 

Zoelzer is an excellent supplier of kayak related gear and certainly an innovator in this field! 

However, as far as the combination hard shell cockpit ("rigid seasock") folding skin-on-frame combination depicted under the URL you cite goes, Mr. Zoelzer's claims to be the "inventor" are pure hyperbole. The concept has been around for years and his are not the only attempts at realizing and commercializing the idea.

It is a very interesting concept ...
