How Kayaks are Made

How Kayaks Are Made

Ever wonder how kayaks are made? I did, then I found this cool clip on "YouTube" from the Discovery Channel.

In under 5 minutes and you'll see just how a kayak is made from beginning to it's beautiful completion. After seeing this one-at-a-time process I had a new appreciation of the cost of a kayak.

In the first video, the kayak made is Polyethylene (plastic rotomolded) - it is not the only material used for kayaks, but they are the most popular. Take a look, it's really interesting . . .


This next video shows the steps to make a wooden kayak.
What a beauty - hand crafted perfection!

Whala!
The birth of a kayak!


You can find a kayak made just for you ...

Not sure of which kind?
