Compared to aluminum paddle shafts, fiber-reinforced composites reduce weight without sacrificing rigidity. Both ABS laminate sheet and fiber-reinforced composites produce a strong, stiff hull that won’t flex in rough water or when fastened down to a roof rack. Using micro-layering techniques with polymer-based synthetic fibers can generate an exceptionally durable personal flotation device fabric that is also breathable and lightweight.
