An anonymous readers asks: "Would an OC1 made totally from the same materials used for making body boards make a more durable OC1?"
It would definitely be more durable, but it probably would be considerably heavier than current boats. Some surfboards are made from that material often used as rentals or in surf lessons. I expect eventually there will be that similar market for canoes. It would be great boat for canoe clubs.
This type of thing probably wouldn't happen with a foam boat:
