This video has me lamenting the fact that the river here is frozen and I can't take my kayak out for another 3-4 months. Sigh! Great video...it's always cool to see how stuff is made.

I just got one these. They're really well build and the finish is superb. The design is really well thought out and has loads of clever features built into it, like paddle rest, removable sealed store, mounting for rod rests, elasticated retainer for lifting lugs, good mechanism for lowering skeg, and loads of good detail.

Not neccesarilly. Polyethylene has a higher resistannce to impact on hard, sharp things such as Rocks. It is an extremley durable materials, and is almost imposible to penetrate with a rock. Composite is stiffer, lighter, and slightly more efecient, but not as impact resistant. When you weigh the pros and cons, they are about equal.

I made a kayak out of some paracord, pillows, an old tire, painters plastic, balloons and a tampon....it didn't float but on the bright side the balloons float perfectly right above where it sank.

anyone here knows how they could extract the upper deck mould DESPITE the cockpit rim undercut @2:32?? I'm having a hard time trying to figure it out myself...

The top lip seems quite flexible when theyre sanding it, probably just flexes inside the upper mould.

What is the height, width, and length of this kayak?

@MikeEnx 12 жыл бұрын

Well, it depends... some skill is required. If I make one of those for sure it would be sinking in less than 5 mins xD

I bought my Easky 15, which looks almost identical to the one in the video, back in October and I love it more every time I go out in. Thanks for the hard work you put in to building them, It's really worth it :) PS Have you seen your kayaks in the latest "Visit Scotland" adverts in the cinema? Heavy product placement! ;)

What do they spray on the mold before spreading the polyethylene?

@martis951 7 жыл бұрын

They put mould release. Without it plastic would stick to the mould and burn

kayaks are so easily made..yet so dam expensive!

@baconneggs2406 7 жыл бұрын

Jace Hebert maybe because of taxes and insurance and other overhead the company has

They pay 30 percent tax you gotta remember

The molds they use are in the $100,000 range each, so with labor and the rest of the machinery needed, they aren't as cheap as the seem.

Hi. I made the video and the music. I am on streaming platforms as 'Sam Stephens'. Glad you liked it!

Operating a band saw without gloves at 3:19 appears highly dangerous, posing a significant risk of finger injury.

Well if you look at it that way they are equal. But i would much rather spend time repairing the composite (and only if you know how to do it, which I do) than paddling in a heavier kayak for those long distances. I think it also depends on the distance and the level at which you paddle. I,m a long distance guy so a plastic one is too heavy.

My dad (little help from me) built the boats that himself and some mates paddled from Southport to Cairns for charity in 2001 from timber. Nice boats and much lighter then any plastic kayak.

yes , but only the ones actually made by hand. with these there's really no skill in it but the wooden ones for sure take skill an talent! :)
