Hope the major manufacturers read this, Michaels >future is secure. > He's a genius indeed if he can figure out how sell a kayak with a metal cage around a paddler that's used for ballast - the ballast weight needs to be below the water, and I for one am NOT going to paddle a kayak while trapped in a metal cage under water, even during a thunderstorm! (How's that for a scary thought!) Oh thou short sighted paddler, the metal cage underwater is shark protection! And don't you think Michael would provide an escape hatch in his design? A simple hydraulic lift apparatus at the bow & stern could take care of raising the cage for storms. So, Michael, can we expect an IPO shortly?
