Well, I don't have kayak specific information, but I can tell you that the
Champ Cars (a la Rahal, Andretti et al) are made of carbon fiber and use
kevlar only in a little area where the transponder rides because the carbon
goofs up the RF. That tells me they would rather be riding in carbon when
they run into the concrete wall at 100 mph and up. I'd think the beach
wouldn't be a problem.
