BUILT TOUGH
MATERIALS
Our Rotomolded construction is the heaviest and toughest for when there’s a possibility of hitting a rock or solid surface and you want maximum durability. The Thermoformed ABS looks like fiberglass and glides like glass in the water, but is plastic and only costs a bit more than our Rotomolded units. And yes, itis quite a bit lighter. Our Fiberglass Hybrids are a mix of fiberglass and another component to ensure our composites are stiff, light, and durable.
