There are a couple of manufacturers of composite surfing kayaks.  I seem
to remember Mike Johnson, Dick Wold, and Jester as some of the
manufacturers.   1. Are these more "durable" in surf than standard sea
kayaks? 2. If so what is the difference in the construction of these
composite surf kayaks? 3. Could a sea kayak be built with the same
techniques without being really heavy? Pardon me if these were already
discussed in the early posts.  --- Mark Arnold--- mjamja_at_earthlink.net
