| The Zone is a FAST, straight tracking, seaworthy, mega fun, sit-on-top sea kayak. I was amazed after trying out this pre-production model. It has a few small dings and scratches and is really a very pretty, kind of light slate gray rather than Ivory. This is really one of a kind. The zone needs someone with good paddling skills to really appreciate it as it is a bit less stable than a comparable sit in kayak. It is kind of like riding a 950 Kawasaki motorcycle...fast and fun with the wind in your hair and everywhere. You don't have to ware a helmet, most of the time, so it it's even more fun. | ||||||

Kayaks are available in several kinds of materials and with different construction methods: Composite kayaks are made from fiberglass, kevlar and graphite in different combinations. Fiberglass, is very durable and makes a strong and economical kayak. Kevlar is lighter and very tough so less needs to be used to make a strong and very durable kayak. Graphite is even lighter than kevlar and is used in strategic locations on some models. Plastic, Super Compound Linear Polyethylene, (SCL) is extremely tough and durable. It is used in the rotomolded models. Cuts or breaks are so rare I have never seen one, even on white water boats. UV inhibitors are blended in to protect from the sun. This is the most economical durable material Current Designs kayaks are built with. The down side is a little bit of flex and a bit more extra weight. Thermoformed Composite System (TCS). These are made from an Acrylic and ABS plastic laminate. This plastic is stiffer and lighter than SCL polyethylene. It has the look and light weight of a fiberglass kayak, but costs less. For a more in depth description of these materials the Current Designs web site, or a catalog will help. Also feel free to contact us. |
