No, since there are foot-holes for "reverse" and ventilation.

However, the body shell is made with similar material (thermoplastic
polymer) and rotational-molding process as most commercially made kayaks
of recent vintage.


You can still get composite kayaks easily, but not in all models. Sea
kayaks and racing kayaks are still available that way.

They are relatively expensive though, compared to the poly boats.


I expect that the composite kayaks are slightly lighter, but more fragile?
