Hi Hung,
As far as I know it is hypalon. You can also inspect the fabric to see the neoprene layer at the bottom.
cheers,

All the BWA boats we have repaired have been Hypalon. Most of the time if the backing to the fabric if a different colour to the face it will be Hypalon, if the back and the face are the same colour it will be PVC.
