CF online data is exhaustive but not relevant. Today's resin mix may not be here tomorrow. A probable reason for not releasing specs.
In cycling, CF frames from small factories compete with Specialized et al where with the latter we hope for some resin layup consistency.

I read where Aquabound at LLBean only adverts 'aluminum' but not where or how.

A Home Depot dowel is ready to slip into the 'aluminum' with West epoxy so we'll see of the 'aluminum' supports ? 140 pounds.

Question is how weighty is a spare paddle capable of supporting a full weight float re entry and is a full weight re entry more effective ?
