Billy makes a good point. Sometimes I set my kayak on some saw horses outside when working on a project. After sitting in the sun for a few hours the plastic gets soft enough for the bottom of the hull to take the shape of the flat sawhorse making a big dent in the bottom of the hull.

So far my yak as always returned to the appropriate shape when it cools down. I suspect that this could become a real problem for those kayaks stored deck side up in the sun for weeks or months.
