Are most kayaks now made from plastic rather than GRP? Does anyone have
manufacturer links, shops etc?

Google is a wonderful thing. Then again, try

Most playboats / creekers / river runners / general purpose boats are
plastic. Proper sea-kayaks are GRP. Opens can be some form of plastic -
usually.

I commend http://www.ukseakayakguidebook.co.uk/ and
http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/ to you as other sources of info.


Google is your friend for sure! I've met Dr Bennett's point of view before
I've really met him!

All the advice given is great, and I hope others getting into the sport will
find this thread interesting. I surely have.

New to a sport means finding your feet, but I'm glad so much response has
been generated by my enquiry. Looks like this has been the busiest thread
for a while in uk.r.b.p ..
