Mike man- this is AWESOME! It made my night. According to the translation software- these promise to be its most salient features:

-No more strength to maneuver eskimo
-No more summits, which impede the blanket

I've been reading about early 20th century surrealists, and between translation software and the auto-generated spam thing of a couple years ago they'd absolutely DIE! Well, they're already dead, and whereas I kind of meant I would die laughing, they would probably do a Marcel Duchamp and die trying to find some way to get it into a fancy dancy museum show.

Anyway- I have really bad Italian, but I think the two bullet points are more accurately translated as having a recessed rudder won't interfere with rolling, and all of the mechanism is covered.

This system is only available on their kayaks, but this looks even easier to duplicate. The issue would be what if the metal (I know it's stainless steel and the fiberglass would likely break first, but) bent and left it unable to be retracted?
