Tiderace Core Technology – a specially formulated epoxy resin in a multi-layer laminate, with an additional resin supported core. Performance laminates that give significantly stronger, stiffer and lighter kayaks, far exceeding a typical polyester resin, fibreglass construction. Epoxy resin is infused into our kayaks under full vacuum then post-cured at elevated temperatures to create the strongest sea kayaks.

TCT Core makes use of the structural ‘I-Beam’ principle of strengthening and stiffening structures. By using the very best fibre reinforcements and epoxy resin to make up both inner and outer layers, and a core material that structurally connects these layers, Tiderace achieves a structural composition that’s second to none. By simply test-paddling our boats, this performance advantage becomes obvious and measurable.

The hull and deck join consists of a full epoxy laminate overlap on both inner and outer surfaces to give the strongest join possible. The outer surface is then gelcoated and polished for an immaculate, seam free finish – a first in sea kayak construction.
