I was interested in this kayak back in Nov when it came on special buy @ ALDI. Wasn’t able to find much about the product, however based on the readings at few forums I decided not to spend $249.
Today I saw one discounted at pacific Werribee plaze for $159, didn’t pick it up but my dormant desire to have one came back to life. Took me a while to get approval from my wife ;-) , however by that time we were out of the plaza. I went to Tarneit Central to get one, price mentioned there on the pallet was $299, someone has mistaken put the price of standup paddle. Spoke to nice friendly staff there to check the price and it came $199, mentioned the $159 at Werribee plaza and staff was kind enough to check again with manager and finally they discounted it to $149.

Yea i know its not perfect or ideal, fits my requirements
- have a sedan without roof racks
- no plan to participate in olympics with this
- few hours for fun with kids
- planning to use in lakes & rivers only
- fits two adults

At least 5 boxes were there when i picked one, based on my experience you can try at other stores and they might help bring the price down
i would totally get one for $149 even just to try it out… but what are the chances there'll still be one there on Monday at $149
