ROTO-MOLDED KAYAKS START OUT AS A PILE OF PLASTIC BEADS OR POWDER (ABOVE LEFT). THE RAW PLASTIC IS FED INTO A MOLD AND THEN MELTED AND MANIPULATED TO MAKE A KAYAK.
A FRESH KAYAK ROLLS OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE AT OLD TOWN (ABOVE RIGHT). THIS MACHINE SPINS, ROTATES, SHAKES AND ROLLS TO SPREAD MOLTEN PLASTIC AROUND A HEATED MOLD.
After years of trial and error, manufacturers continue to push the limits
of kayak production. “Fishing kayaks have become very technical,” says Old Town’s Hadden. Weaver adds that advancements in manufacturing processes make it
easier for consumers to become kayakers. “We can get more people on the water,” she says, “that’s what it’s all about.”
