: We need to come up with an easy test that does not require multi thousand $$$
: machines.

Hey, we don't need no stinkin machines!
Or use machines to calculate how a kayak handles and there's enough consensus reality with ability to articulate differences.

I was thinking of the three point bending load with how many stacks of soda cans can it hold for deflection to failure? Or how about putting the test panels at the other end of a horseshoe toss??? This is reality testing here!
