roosters123 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 visit a fishing store in hope of looking for a fishing kayak. The Kayak will be mainly used around sydney harbour and mostly west side of the bridge. I was interested in a variety of kayaks around the $900-1000 range but i like the squid kayak in particular. Any info or past experience on this kayak would be helpful. Other suggestions for kayaks would also be aprreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ditto - try before you buy!! You should try as many different brands & models as you can too - only then can you make an informed decision. cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elferoz777 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Are they the ones from Australis canoes? I know they have pre organised mornings where you can try their range of Kayaks. I am due to attend one soon. They look the part but as other suggest nothing beats testing it your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just keep in mind that 'short ones' ie about 3m are generally used for rivers & inshore only - to go offshore, you really need to go 4m+ ...... 4.3m is the general for offshore! The short ones bob around like a cork from wave to wave & are not the most sea worthy of craft ...... the longer ones 'slice' thru the waves & straddle 2 waves at once, giving a much more comfortable ride cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
