Folbot just emailed me personally (okay, it was the Folbot Newsletter) to tell me that their kayaks are now available in orange. I have never particularly liked the color orange, but I imagine there are probably quite a few weirdos out there who do.
So if you are a folding kayak paddler who likes to be seen paddling around in a giant slice of papaya – now you can! However, I do agree that boats should be bright unnatural colors for safety reasons. And I have to admit that my first kayak was a giant banana.

You have to remember, the boats are made in South Carolina and there are a lot Clemson fans in this state.
Strangely enough, I grew up in South Carolina and didn’t even make that connection!
In that case, it shouldn’t be hard to make a Clemson edition Folbot by stenciling a white paw on it. Then they would need to offer a garnet/black kayak too…
