I'm confused.

First you said,

There is really no such thing as a boat suitable for a particular of water body. You can go out in the North Atlantic in washtub on some days.

At best, there may be boats potentially suitable for particular water conditions. The North Atlantic can sink a Navy Destroyer on some days."

So, here we're talking about bathtubs and destroyers, and "no such thing as a boat suitable for a particular of water body"

And then it's;

I personally put a lot of effort into designing specific kayaks for specific bodies of water and conditions. I strongly believe that traditional qajaqs and baidarkas were developed with hyper attention to local conditions and uses.

You don't see a contradiction in these statements?

I agree! Wear your PFD!
