According to the 2015 Special Report on Paddlesports conducted by The Outdoor Foundation, 21.7 million people reported participating in canoeing, kayaking, rafting or stand up paddling—an increase of more than 3 million enthusiasts since 2010. Plus, composites won’t conduct cold or heat as aluminum does.

The material’s high thermal conductivity can also be more than is necessary in many cases, causing manufacturers to over-engineer the heat sink.  Its thermally conductive properties allow for effective heat management, but material and production costs can be high. First find a component’s heat dissipation requirements by conducting a heat analysis.
