This week to meet with Shane Benedict the Designer from Native Watercraft as he takes up behind the scenes and shows us how he brings concepts to life. We see the plug process, molding process, and fitting process. Then we hit the water with the very first production Slayer MAX! Huge shout out to Native for allowing me to video their process and give you guys an in-depth look behind the curtain.

That's awesome!! Thanks for bringing this to us. Really enjoyed seeing those details. There's a ton of work that goes into the making of a kayak.

So great that you are respected enough in the industry to be able to get into the factories and show us these manufacturing details. As companies merge and get bigger, I just hope the manufacturing doesn't go to Asia. Manufacturing jobs are (were) fulfilling jobs.

I'd love to see how you go from finished plug to mold. You mentioned aluminum foundry. The foam plug can't handle the temperatures of molten aluminum. Is a sand cast female mold made then a metal mail mold followed again by final female mold for rotomolding?

Very cool. Hey Dan- can you do a review of the 2020 Slayer 10 and the FX12 “Pro”? What’s new on those? Heard the Slayer 10 has a higher seat.

Will you be reviewing the new Vibe Shearwater 125 later this coming new year?

@joebacs2487 3 жыл бұрын

Smooth finish???? Native has a funny definition of smooth, 12 max molds are producing sandpaper like feel hulls, thanks NATIVE!!!

@chucklathan 4 жыл бұрын

Yes right hand controls please. also i am thinking about the manta ray propel 12 for river fishing without the drive then using the drive when on the lake. Has anyone used this model on a river is so what are your thoughts on it. Or maybe we can get a river review on his model that would be nice also.

Great video! I never knew how much went into making a kayak. Do you know if the Slayer Max has the same injected foam as the Titan has to add stability?

@trevorfout4759 4 жыл бұрын

No it does not

@johnpuckett899 4 жыл бұрын

If you see this please reply you said it is fast plus the stability how does it compare to the big fish 108 I know it's been a little while since you been in the big fish 108 I know one is a 10 feet and 1 is a 12 feet

Thanks for the video. By the way, the title says "Native Slayer 12 Max". 12? Is it not 12.5 (twelve point five) MAX? 🙂

There are a lot of pedal kayaks but only 1 native slayer kayak save your money and buy the best Native kayaks

@HeadwatersKayak 4 жыл бұрын

Robbie Johnson the kayak business is full of folks like this saying one thing is the best and the only. Don’t buy into this Dogma. Is is ignorant and untrue. There are many good brands building fine craft. Do your research, demo, and make an informed decision.
