About us
Technologies and Materials
We are the only North American kayak manufacturer to use TST technology. Over many years, we have been perfecting the art of Twin Sheet Thermoforming (TST), a high-precision technology that shapes the deck and hull and fuses them together under extreme heat and pressure. This technology also enables us to produce two tone coloured kayaks, similar in appearence to composite kayaks but at much more aggressive pricing.
This and other key technologies and innovations have contributed to us becoming one of the largest kayak manufacturers in the world.
Merge our TST technology and our exclusive POLY-XRTM material to get an ultra resistant boat
Used in all Elie kayaks, three-layer Poly-XRTM material is 30% more rigid than standard polyethylene, thanks to an advanced resin in the top layer. Our designers use less material to deliver the same incredible durability – resulting in a lighter and stiffer kayak that is easier to paddle, maneuver, even lift on top of your car.
