Hi Paul:

Hey real airbags - that's a thought. What about a sea sock that is attached to your waist - not the kayak - and then blow that up on a capsize therebye evacutating the water??????????????-forget it!

I was actually thinking about like a small whitewater kayak airbag or a wheelbarrow tire tube or other smallish inflatable device.

But seating and cupholders - I'm exploring a slight modification of the recent posts on seats and moulds - I'll draw something up on that soon.

And cupholders? - well stay tuned for next dwg....
