Heritage Kayaks represent the marriage of modern technology and sophisticated materials with timeless proven traditional design elements. Our kayaks are designed to be user friendly, good looking, and of course, safe under prudent usage. A proper kayak is a marvelous and seaworthy craft, with roots going back into history. Heritage offers a wide variety of models for your selection all offering high quality, by design.
Heritage Kayaks are manufactured using rugged high quality polyethylene construction in all models. Each kayak is rotomolded into a single seamless hull and deck unit in one of several large, high temperature, computer controlled ovens for maximum strength and impact resistance. High quality polyethylene, though more expensive than lesser plastics, has been selected for its tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, impact damage and tearing as well as resistance to distortion from heat. All our kayaks can be repaired, an attribute not shared by all plastics, but important if somehow you do manage to seriously damage your boat. Such damage should prove highly unlikely, as these extremely durable craft are truly tough and will readily stand up to most hard knocks and serious long term use.
