Drop-Stitch Kayaks

WHAT IS A DROP-STITCH FLOOR?

A Dropstitch Floor is a high pressure inflatable floor that adds even more rigidity, as well a chine, to your kayak for increased hull speed and tracking performance.

This material allows inflatables to be built with flat surfaces that can be inflated to rock-hard rigidity. You get hard-shell performance along with the easy transportation and storage of an inflatable. What makes this possible? Tens of thousands of fine threads.

The process starts by joining two pieces of polyester woven support fabric with thousands of fine polyester thread lengths. This base material is made in strips from five to ten feet in width, and up to 400 needle heads may be used in the setup. Each needle sews a continuous, evenly spaced thread, back and forth between the two pieces of woven fabric, locking them together into an incredibly strong unit.
