While we're talking tech, can someone explain some of the new 
technologies that companies are coming out with. For example, Azul 
with its "Biofusion" layup. Are they growing skin in there or what? 
Azul is part of Riot Kayaks, a company not known for much hype in its 
marketing (ouch, my tongue just hurt my cheek).

There is also Eddyline with Modulus Technology, HTP from Prijon, and 
I am sure many others.

For anyone out there building a boat, please pour something into your 
resin and declare a new technology, maybe "Hypersupratuff Dynokinetic 
II(R)" or something.
