How many years does a kayak last?
Bottom line: 6-12 years is a pretty typical range for the life span of a kayak. That’s a huge range, you might say. And yes, that is true. An inflatable kayak might last you only a half dozen years; however, a well-maintained, quality kayak can last twice that or much longer – even a lifetime. The average lifespan of a kayak is up to 8-14 years. Pretty long, right? But if you don’t have enough occasions to use it, then even 8-14 years don’t seem enough. Not to mention that you also need to keep up its maintenance, since exposure to UV radiation can degrade the material.Kayaks are believed to be at least 4,000 years old. The oldest kayaks remaining are exhibited in the North America department of the State Museum of Ethnology in Munich, with the oldest dating from 1577. Subarctic people made many types of boats for different purposes.
