The skins are a PU film produced by Stephens Urethane (US company) and
brutally expensive. Not sure why the mention of PVC comes into it on the website.
The boats are made by New Zealander "First Light Kayaks" under a private lable
agreement with CBH. FLK themselves do not sell the boats in this configuration
under their own name. The skins are VERY flexible.
