Imagine for a moment, a 4.5 metre kayak weighing 3 kgs.

Impossible you say.

Maybe not, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

Graphene has soooo much cool potential. I'm not sure if I want a kayak made out of a conductive material though.

If you're hit by lightning it wouldn't matter what the yak was made from

Should be fine if you fish in a faraday suit

unfortunately, at the moment cost might be a bit prohibitive

But definitely something to look forward to. How do you think it would go in a bit of wind though - without any weight would it just be blown away?

If a bean pole like you was in it Alex - for sure. But not with a fat bastard like me. Lighter would be faster, wouldn't it? Easier to get on and off the car at least.

Too true Nick. I've been there, head down over the deck in a violent thunderstorm, nose jammed into the mangroves, with instantaneous flash-bangs all around for 10 minutes, awaiting a sizzling end to fishing forever. It isn't something I will never forget.
