Construction:
The wood/epoxy/glass construction process requires meticulous care to insure that the wood ‘core’ of the kayak is never exposed to moisture. We build every kayak with that care. Our kayaks have about the same life expectancy as a well-made fiberglass or Kevlar composite kayak. Our hulls are sheathed in fiberglass cloth, epoxy covered and finished with an extremely tough catalyzed acrylic urethane.
