It is an eight foot long fast river surf boat designed for one specific wave - think Riot Glide but much, much less rocker, about 2" at the stern. The glass version I have is very carvey and extremely loose. I know it sounds strange but then it is a strange set of requirements. I have a squirtboat myself, its an Underdawg by Murky Waters.
Construction wise, it has to be light and extremely stiff on the hull because of how flat it is and the natural tendency of flat sections to bend, part of the reason I want to go with resin-infusion is because of the use of a core. The river is deep and rock free when the wave is in, so not too concerned about impact. The deck shape is high volume and rounded so naturally strong.
Check out the double dutch and Vajda websites and see what spec they are laying up current slalom boats up as. They are very rigid and very light so a similar lay up should serve you well.
