Skin on frame kayaks are one of the most ancient types of watercraft on earth. They’ve been used by indigenous people all over the world for millennia, and they still serve as a viable way to get around in places where more modern materials aren’t available. There’s no reason why you can’t try one out too!
Skin on frame kayaks are made from wood and animal skins or synthetic fabrics such as ballistic nylon. They’re lightweight, easy to transport, easy to repair and durable. Skin on frame kayaks are cheap to make because you can use salvaged materials or find them at a thrift store or garage sale.
Skin on frame kayaks are a very old form of kayak. They were originally made by the Inuit people of the Arctic, who used them for hunting and fishing. The Inuit would use animal skins to create a framework that could be covered with wood and other materials to make the boat watertight.
Skin on Frame kayaks are made from a wooden frame that supports a stretched animal hide or fabric. The fabric is sewn to the wood frame, creating a waterproof seal between the two.
The fabric is attached to the top and bottom of this wooden boat structure, leaving openings for entry and exit at either end of your kayak as well as along its sides. Once you’re done building it, you can paddle around in comfort without worrying about getting wet!
Skin on frame kayaks are lightweight, easy to transport and easy to build, but finding the materials can be a challenge. Canvas ETC has your back with high-quality, affordable 1050 ballistic nylon to skin your kayak.
