AUTOCLAVE PREPREG TECHNOLOGY

All our crafts at NK are sculpted using prepreg carbon and autoclaved to perfectiona technique thats as elite as it is intricate. Not many in the kayak realm have adopted this high-end method, known for its hefty price tag and complex execution.

Thanks to the uniform distribution of material in prepregs and the meticulously controlled high temperatures and pressures in the autoclave, our surfskis and kayaks boast unparalleled strength while maintaining a surprisingly light weight.

The layers in each boat are fused under intense conditions to create an exceptionally durable bond, ensuring our kayaks are not only reliable but also built to last. This cutting-edge technology is shared with industries where precision is paramountlike aerospace and Formula 1 racing. At NK, we bring this extraordinary engineering right to your boat.
