Thanks Motorari, for posting videos on this and other threads recently. Beautiful, and they show those Millbrook creations so very well.

What are people's thoughts regarding the relative durability of a composite boat like the Inferno vs. a royalite boat like the Spark (assuming that the paddler is known to have the occasional run-in with rocks both large and small)?
well there's always catastrophic failure, but repairing normal wear and tear is much easier (and much mo successful) on composite boats... however for really steep creeking they do tend to catch rocks and not slide as well
