This is a new section in the works. We decided to open this up to all visitors as it is in the process of being built. Once it is done, this information will be changed to note that it is not in Beta anymore. We estimate it will take until early November to finish this section.

This NDK Romany kayak got holed on a 4 Star Training program when two kayaks came in touch during a rescue. The other kayak was not damaged. The reason this kayak was damaged and the other kayak not damaged does not have anything to do with the design or quality of the boats involved. It is just how the two kayaks came in touch with each other.

This page shows the repair tape that was added on water at the time of the collision. A great feature of this tape is that it sticks to the kayak and can stay on the boat for days after a hole happens. Then it comes off easily with little to no glue left on the kayak. Tape was added to the inside the next day to back up the outside tape for a day of surfing.
