I am scratching my head on this one. It sounds to me like a porous layup. Water should never infiltrate epoxy with the exception of boats that "live" in the water on a mooring or dock, and then it is a very slow osmosis process. Perhaps your damage could also be heat related and what you are seeing is actually delamination from the carbon fiber. Can you share a picture?

The Tahe Greenland is an awesome kayak.
