Made in america, that's a really good selling point for me. Pretty awesome process,. Great video glad you got to knock that off your bucket list

[@delhollingsworth1546]

This is a terrific video. I learned a great deal about how kayaks are made. I am interested in the Native brand, and this has been very helpful.

[@ssei2001]

Great video man, it was great to see how kayaks are made. I have an Old Town Topwater PDL 120, but I'm sure they are all made about the same way. Solomon and Ms. Kim seem to really love their jobs along with all the other employees. That tells me you are getting a well-built boat. Bonafide or Native just might be my next boat. Enjoys your new boats, Larry!

[@manliusduncan5963]

Great vid need more like this and shout out to Solomon for making every fisherman’s dream come true!

[@PhotosinMotion2U]

Feel free to post a Feel Free tour!! I have 2, and would be super interested in their production of them I believe in N.C.

[@lordenoch0]

Feelfree kayaks (along w/ their 3 Waters, Seastream and Jonny Boats brands) are made in a factory in Thailand.

[@tomcastrosr]

In deep

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

What do they do if a yak comes out of the mold with defects??

[@moblack5883]

So weird to see a final product made when I make the raw material

[@UNaware_of_myself]

Did you cover how they apply the logo and model number and what the heck they use?? Because whatever it is is freakin permanent af! Mine have been banged and scuffed but they don’t lose color at all! It’s wild
