Here's a video posted by the Hobie guys down south on how to pop out a dent in a kayak.  I imagine this could work for other kayaks too.  Pretty slick!

I waas at the Hobie NorthWest dealership today and Dan was telling me a heat gun or any heat really will make the kayak pop back into position.  The trick is to not let them sit with the dent for extended periods...  Also I don't see why this wouldn't work on my Ocean Kayak.

You got a dent in your OK?

I had one way back.  Put it on the car to tight and POP.  Was able to pop it back no problem.

Demonick,   I don't remember reading any update on your Revo dent. 
Did you get that out without issue?

I stuck a small aircraft tire tube inside and blew it up to support the hull.
