: Here's a good example of the toughness of the SOF kayak. After rolling the
: truck with the kayaks on the roof, the boats were only slightly damaged.
: The baidarka had some ribs and a keel stringer that were cracked but not
: completely broken. Had he been in the middle of a trip, he could have
: continued to paddle the boats without any need for field repair. I think
: any commercial or S&G or Strip kayak would have not fared so well...

Darned expensive way to test a yak's construction .
