: Those don't typically see hard hits, though. They get used for
: tricks and submerged gymnastics, but not bouncing off walls and
: taking waterfalls. Or at least from what I've been able to dig

That's often the case with newer kayaks as plastic has taken over the role of river running, but pre-plastic whitewater kayaks were made from fiberglass and used in this way. See the Boatbuilder's Manual by Charles C. Walbridge: http://amzn.to/sLpxUX
