I am impressed with Toms kayaks and have been thinking about aluminium and saltwater. A while ago, I got a piece of aluminium aparatus that I was going to take underwater quite a bit. I took it to this factory and got it anodised. The process was pretty cheap and makes the aluminium much more corrosive resistant.

You can make it pretty colours too. I am thinking glacier blue would go good with the Tom Yost White kayak skin. .... Then all I need is a polar bear, some ice and a hot thermos :)
