MATERIAL Your kayak is manufactured from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). It is a very durable material.

Polyethylene is a somewhat flexible material with some memory. This means it has a tendency to return to its original molded shape if distorted.

Make sure your drain plug is secure. Passengers should always wear a Personal Flotation Device. Check for wind conditions, currents or wave conditions that would make it difficult to paddle back. Always let someone know of your boating plans, your boating location, and when you expect to return. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your kayak is designed to require minimal maintenance, and a little timely care will ensure a lifetime of enjoyment. Whenever you wash your boat, use mild soap and water.
