Or just a Dremel, I have one of those?
Carbon fibre telescope tubes are only 2mm to 2.5mm thick so easy to drill through with a standard HSS drill bit
If fact when using the dremel to elongate a hole I had to be careful not to push too hard.
It’s really soft as butter at 2.5mm thick
Kayaks and Canoes I’d imaging would be thicker say 3 to 5mm thick in places

Hope that helps
