Explanation:
Skin Material for Frame and Skin Kayaks
I get alot of questions regarding canvas and other materials for the hull and deck of our kayaks. First of all, for the price, canvas is pretty hard to beat. It is relatively easy to obtain, install, paint, and maintain. It is not abuse-proof. If you want a kayak that will stand up to abuse, I recommend not building a frame and skin kayak. But for recreation, canvas hull kayaks stand up well. To improve the longevity of canvas kayaks:

Explanation:
kayak skin = rivestimento

Il Kayak veniva costruito anticamente con un telaio di legno, rivestito in pelle animale mentre oggi viene assemblato con materiali sintetici quali polietilene, carbonio o per i piĆ¹ tecnici in kevlar.
