Thank goodness we don't have a sea kayak industry dedicated to convincing us
that last year's perfectly good kayak is completely obsolete and socially
unacceptable. A reasonably well maintained 10 year old  seakayak is a
perfectly fine boat!

We do see some of that on the WW side -- but part of that has to do with the
fact that the sport has been changing focus.
