Please Note: Production of these boats has currently been put on pause due to the soaring cost of electricity in Europe. We hope to be able to offer them in the near future.
In 2015 Vajda introduced a recreational and fitness range with brand new Styrolight models for both K1 kayaks, sea-kayaks and skis.
This range is made from an advanced new UV Stable thermoplastic called Stryolight, with an acrylic outer sheen that is miles ahead of anything we’ve seen in this genre. The look & finish of these recreational boats is something to behold, only a close second look betrays the non-composite heritage.
Construction- Vajda’s recreational range is made by the process of thermo-moulding. Thermo-moulding is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet (Styrolight) is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mould, and trimmed to create a usable product. The styrolight sheet is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that permits it to be stretched into or onto a mould and cooled to a finished shape. Its simplified version is vacuum forming.
