By the way, if you are looking for an excellent hardshell, we have two circa 2011 Hardcore Pro Tiderace kayaks for sale. These are the very lightest layups available, in the Excite, white-clear-white, brand new, and the Explore-S, orange-clear-orange, very lightly used. You will not find a better deal on either anywhere!
