Description

We spend more time finishing our kayaks than do other manufacturers. For example, we take great care joining the decks and hulls of our kayaks. This is one of the most important steps in the construction of a kayak. Our boats are seamed inside and out, with extra time spent getting outside seams on smoothly.

We have seen a major change in how manufacturers market their kayaks. The industry has now become large enough to support some fairly large companies. As a result, three companies now control about 80% of the kayak production in North America and at times spend more effort creating marketing excitement and hype to sell product than in building better kayaks. As a designer and also as a manufacturer, I find the change in the atmosphere in the industry profound and somewhat disquieting.
