Rotomolded polyethylene kayaks
Our rotomolded Polyethylene (PE) kayaks are made in a single layer or 3-layer HDPE. Plastic (polyethylene) powder is poured into a mold, heated and rotated to form a complete, one-piece kayak. For sea kayak models we use 3-layer HDPE lay-up to enhanced durability and stiffness. 1-layer HDPE lay-up is used in Ormen recreational kayaks, it's made using only a single layer of high density polyethylene that makes it very stiff and durable, yet it is lighter than the other 2- or 3-layer constructions. All the kayaks are made in our factory in Viimsi, Estonia.
Composite construction kayaks
Composite construction type kayaks are the perfect choice for sea kayaking, then the weight and stiffness are important. Composite kayaks are handmade from different fiberglass/carbon fabrics that are held together by a special marine grade epoxy resin and with a help of vacuum technology it ensures the best weight/strength ratio. All Zegul composite kayaks are handcrafted in our factory in Viimsi, Estonia. *Please note that weights of the kayaks may vary +/- 2 kg (4 lbs) due to manufacturing processes.
ZEGUL A-CORE
This lay-up increases durability and stiffness of the kayak, absorbing even less energy during paddling and withstanding the most challenging environments. All ZEGUL A-CORE built kayaks are equipped with sandwich reinforced keel area - ensuring scratch and impact strength. Hull and deck are joined using internally both fiberglass and aramide taping, externally a very robust aramide taping. All decks are built in sandwich construction.

Easy, Play, Nuka, Reval, Saga, Bara, Searocket, Greenland GT, Greenland T, Torpedo, Völsung, Dreki
ZEGUL 3D C-CORE
Kayaks built with this method are finished with a clear carbon hull, which takes years of experience to be done correctly. We have added a new 3 dimensional carbon fabric into this construction, resulting in even tougher and stiffer kayaks. The ZEGUL 3D C-CORE kayaks are built using full HD LRA core lay-up in the kayak hulls. This production method combines vacuum infusion technology with high performance properties of special marine grade epoxy resin and several types of carbon fiber, carbon/aramide and glass multiaxial fabrics to create probably the highest quality carbon core built kayaks in the industry. These kayaks are even more versatile than the regular carbon/aramide and carbon built kayaks on the market.

ZEGUL FULL CARBON
This production method combines vacuum infusion technology with the high performance properties of a special marine grade epoxy resin, several types of carbon fiber, carbon/aramide and glass multiaxial fabrics to create the highest quality carbon core built kayaks in the industry. Years of experience are needed to perfect a clear carbon hull using three dimensional carbon fabric which results in the stiffest, most durable kayak.

ZEGUL FLAX
The Zegul Flax lay-up is a special construction that uses flax fibre fabric combined with glass multiaxial fabric. The flax fiber material has best damping capabilities than any other fiber on the market due to the built of flax fibers as it cas many concentric layers in one fibre. This makes the material similar to carbon material in terms of strengths and damping. The flax fiber construction is finished with a clear coated gel coat which means the beautiful material will be completly visible on the kayak. This lay-up is available for Zegul Easy with matching details.
