ABOUT EDDYLINE AND HOW THE KAYAKS ARE MADE
Eddyline, a US based manufacturer have been designing and producing quality kayaks for 33 years. Lightness, strength and stability in design are the hallmarks of their products with outstanding build, fit and finish.

What makes Eddyline products so outstanding?
Eddyline products are constructed of Carbonite 2000, a unique, tough material that is used in the aircraft industry. It looks and performs like fibreglass, but is in fact, a thermoformed trilaminate of ABS plastics and acrylic. Carbonite 2000’s superior characteristics give dimensional stability and increased stiffness. It is of lighter weight, UV resistant and has a hard, glossy finish with excellent abrasion and impact resistance. It is easily repairable and 100% recyclable.

Carbonlite 2000 is a high performance co-extruded plastic laminate that is proprietary to Eddyline Kayaks. It is first formed into a two layer flat sheet with a "muscle" substrate layer and a highly UV resistant exterior layer. Using very high temperatures and vacuum, the sheet is formed into the top and bottom of a kayak.

Carbonlite 2000 brings the technology of plastic kayaks to an entirely new level of performance. Eddyline pioneered this technology and Carbonlite 2000 is an Eddyline exclusive. This material looks and performs like fiberglass with clear advantages over other plastics: dimensional stability and increased stiffness, higher heat distortion temperatures, hard glossy "non fuzzing" finishes with excellent abrasion and impact resistance, easy repairability, superior UV resistance and lighter weights. Carbonlite 2000 is extremely tough, but it is also easily repaired in the event of an accident. It has endured the test of time in the hands of many paddlers, liveries and tour operators and is highly suitable for nearly all kayak applications.
