I'm an idiot - help - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

i've had similar white stress marks in my portabote (which is probably made of the same stuff as your yak) for quite some time now after i hit unlit bridge abutment in Mexico HARD when returning from night expedition. i just ignore em and they don't seem to have affected anything....had the bote out in 8-9' swells with bad wind chop since then, and no structural effect as far as i can see.

just come up with a good story to hide the embarrassment...."Oh that? that's from when i hit the surfacing submarine"
