Agreed Tim Evans – this is the best website. I too, cannot believe what I am seeing. Where have you been all my life 🙂

Fantastic web site! I could hardly believe what I was seeing. I wonder how Alpacka feels… Anyway, I am keen on making super light boats myself. Check out my 10 pound kayaks at http://www.cubenmaker.com (if you haven’t already seen it). I’m all about making boats I can carry under my arm over portages. I started with an Alpacka Yak, then a Supai, then started making my own folding kayaks out of Cuben Fiber and carbon and aluminum tubing with inflatable internal sponsons. I am just starting a project to try making make an inflatable pontoon paddle boat with a goal of 15 pounds or less. Looking for fabric and valves and saw your site. The idea of using Urethane coated nylon and heat sealing the seams is very appealing. I was all set to order PVC and glue.
