That's funny, as a canoeist my first thought was that they wouldn't be
bad for a kayak, especially for a kayak used for fishing or with ill
behaved dogs or young children along

OK, that's not true. My first thought was that Elliot has gone and
reinvented a product with limited application and zero appeal to
serious paddlers and posted a survey about it to a board that was
decimated (in the literal "reduced by 90%" meaning) by a mentally
unstable sponson manufacturer.


Actually the literal meaning of decimated is "reduced by 10%" not 90%.
See

I'll give the whole sponson debate a wide berth.
