  • Composite is more expensive so they just go with the cheaper alternative. Composite is used on more expensive kayaks

  • 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.

  • 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 just bought an easky 15, very clever how you make them tho!

  • Good stuff but composite is better.

  • 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.

  • Nice Video!

  • Thanks a lot for this video. I'm an industrial designer who found it very useful. The music's super, too!

  • went out tonight around berry Head in a eashy 15, choppy but the kayak handled it well. dont like the thigh braces so wide though

  • 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! ;)
