Even though there are lots of materials available to build kayaks, wood is predominantly used in its building. Wooden kayaks are strong and light weight. Building kayak with wood is affordable to all and also wood is an easily available material.
Wood is used in building kayaks because they are durable when compared to steel and fiber glass. Most wooden kayaks weigh less than the commercial manufactured boats. It is not possible to specify the exact weight of a wooden kayak since different wood will have different density.
