HOW WE MADE IT...
Construction is Carbon / Kevlar without a core. This keeps a little give in the boat so that it is far more durable than those with a honeycomb/foam core which makes them very stiff but very fragile – Andrew developed this build over 20 years of making downriver capable kayaks and we’ve been improving it ever since. The latest change is upgrading to Vinyl-Ester (VE) resin.
WHAT DO THOSE MATERIALS MEAN?

Twaron - Kevlar/Carbon

Kevlar / Aramid
Plain-Weave
Carbon 90/90
Plain weave carbon fabric provides excellent stiffness and strength, ensuring our kayaks are both durable and lightweight. This material is perfect for creating a kayak that can withstand rigorous use while maintaining easy maneuverability.
