Corelite - A Break-Through in Sea Kayak Construction.

Every one of our P&H plastic sea kayaks are roto-moulded using a unique material we developed.

�Corelite� is a triple-layered material that combines a central foam core with tough outer and inner skins of abrasion resistant polyethylene.

The positive aspects of owning a sea kayak made from Corelite are that they are extremely durable and versatile. If you choose to venture in and out of coastline caves and happen to knock up against any rocks whilst manoeuvring, you don�t have to worry about damaging the hull of your boat to any great extent. Again with running ashore at the end of a long trip, Corelite allows you come in at full speed and not worry about damage. It can take a hard hit and live to tell the tale.

Corelite can be up to 3kgs lighter than other manufacturers equivalent models, easier to handle and easier to paddle.

GREATER RIGIDITY

Improving efficiency through the water and greatly reducing flex in rougher conditions making it a suitable material for canoes which will venture out on to rivers and in rougher conditions. It also has much improved resistance to general denting while in storage and while transporting on your roof rack.

INCREASED SAFETY

The lower specific gravity (SG) of our triple layer material increases its inherent buoyancy and makes the kayak float much higher when full of water, assisting with self-rescue techniques.

INCREASED DURABILITY

Even if the outer shell is damaged, the core will not absorb any water, leak or suffer any lasting damage and can be easily repaired at your leisure.
