Skin on frame, strip built, or stitch and glue? Will it have watertight hatches? If so, could you share your ideas on how to seal them against the vacuum of space?

Will it be easy to paddle? Easy to roll?

Does it have cup holders?

More importantly, what kind of testing protocol do you propose to make sure that it does not delaminate at an uncomfortable moment?
