No so fast does not happen. It can happen, if you drive frequently over stones, that the outer layer is damaged. This is not nice but I can quickly build a new one. I can do that: D

Viendo los materiales y los costes me parece muy caro

un kayak cuesta mas de 400 - 600 euros como minimo.

Los costes de material no son muy altas. 100 EURO
Sin las herramientas adecuadas, es muy difícil.

Congratulations! very very nice work. I like very much the way you substituted the seam channels. I made one myself to 1:1 scale. I had the same troubles as you (the plans available published online from the patent are not exact) but I managed to make the corrections.
I gave up on 5 mm polypropilene as I was unable to bend it correctly, and I tried 3 mm thick poly. I regret that, it is not stiff enough and I am going to give it a new try on 5 mm.
Please, could you give me some ideas on making the creasings for folding it. (i tried with a creasing tool but it cuts the poly and it is not strong enough, heating with a heat gun sometimes breaks the poly. I managed it with a hammer and a round shaped impactor, but is very laborious and the results are not cool...).
Thank you!!!
