I can somewhat agree, but In kayaks it largely does. The U.S kayak makers seem to pay more attention to sealing around hardware, they often do molded in threaded inserts, their mounts & hardware is usually much more robust. The Chinese imports many times pay no attention to how water drains, they often don’t seal behind mounts/hatches, they rarely mold in threaded inserts for things like handle attachments, and they just cheap out whenever and wherever possible. They also will use cheaper grades of plastic LDPE LLDPE or MDPE which is immediately noticeable. Quality USA made kayaks often will cost a bit more, but are often made of HDPE. You can see 10yr old HDPE kayaks that look better than some 6month old LDPE kayaks. Molding process is just easier and requires lower temps for LDPE and cheap plastics.
Is it available as a tandem model?
I wish. Twin PDL drives would be an epic tandem! PDL drive is my favorite pedal drive.
No entiendo por que ocean kayak teniendo linias de kayak como tridente y Big gein escogió un kayak como este para poner pedales mala idea
Me encanta la Ocean Kayak Malibu PDL. ❤️
I do not see why this boat is worth more than $1500?
Slim1 Dune shouldn't be more than $1000.. you take the rudder, seat and pedal drive away and the kayak looks like a $300-$600 one.
Nice boat but a bit pricey. Especially in today's times.

NOPE‼️ To pricey ‼️ That’s gonna stay on the sales floor and collect dust!
To pricey lol. Too funny.
Just because it's made in the usa isn't necessarily good. Look at the clunker cars made here by ford, chevy, etc. LMAO
