    I bought the 2 seater back in September from Groupon (its still available there) for about $115 delivered using a 15% off code and 20% Cashback. Shipping is $10.

    Kayak works well, great quality for the price. Paddles are surprisingly rebust for something that can be dissasembled.

    You'll need a life jacket (not included) to use it on public waterways. Work that into your budget.

    • bargaino on 19/01/2020 - 23:59

      State laws vary.

      • ash2000 on 20/01/2020 - 00:11

        Which state doesn't mandate life jackets?

        • bargaino on 20/01/2020 - 01:15

          Here in WA it is only in open waters, more than 400m from shore.

          Not my job to research the whole country, but I do hate it when Sydney people think the whole country must be the same.

          If your boat sinks in the Canning or Swan River, you can walk to shore 😀 mandating life jackets would be stupid.

            @bargaino: WA and qld are the only two exceptions. All other states (not a Sydney thing!) require lifejackts irrespective of the distance from shore.

            So most people (~80%) will need to factor in life jackets as per my original comment! Not a big deal, they are inexpensive….. I bought a couple from anaconda at $30 each.

  • Robin2012 on 19/01/2020 - 23:45

    maybe, will try

  • FLICKIT on 19/01/2020 - 23:52

    I thought: That looks cool, I could chuck it in my campervan, mega fun!

    Then I saw this kid in one, as a 6'1" well built guy I have my doubts it would be too practical for me ;(

    (I do have the urge to go paddle UK's canals in a real kayak though)

      You could get the double and install just one seat (as long as you're under 180kg) it's huge compared to the single.

    • Mentem on 20/01/2020 - 07:28

      I have one and am 6,4 and about 110kg and it's fine. They are pretty good, I did 5km on it as well.

      • ash2000 on 20/01/2020 - 09:19

        You have the single or double?

    is it safe for waterways with bull sharks? Asking for a friend

    • ju2au on 20/01/2020 - 02:19
      +3

      If the shark decides to take a bite at the kayak, then obviously its teeth will puncture the kayak and cause it to sink. If you still haven't made it to shore yet then the shark will most likely take another bite at you. Once you start bleeding, the shark will go into a freeze and take lots of bites and then your health and safety will be under serious pressure.

    • BertieBrown on 20/01/2020 - 08:12

      If it was in area with a known large Bull shark population I would personally not use an inflatable.

      Here is some more information that might be useful. http://www.topkayaker.net/Articles/NatureIssues/sharks.htm

    • bargaino on 20/01/2020 - 10:09

      Perth has bull sharks, but unlike the dolphins, they are rarely seen.
      It never stopped anyone boating or swimming. There was one death about a century ago.

    I bought one from BCF for $99 last week when they're on special. I have used it twice in canning river (WA) . I absolutely love it. Never owned kayak or done kayaking before.

    If you try and add the expired code SALE30 to the checkout it will give you a 7% discount as courtesy. I guess stack with cash back as well?

  • tanastra on 20/01/2020 - 12:35

    Great kayak but super hot plastic … So bear that in mind if you are outdoor at temperature above 30s

  • thydzik on 20/01/2020 - 12:41

    Has anyone's shipped yet?

    • zzyss on 28/01/2020 - 09:19

      Not mine. Still waiting.

        I got my delivery notification yesterday.

  • Wolfy on 30/01/2020 - 21:58

    Not only has mine not shipped, I logged in to check tracking today and:
    "Your order has been canceled due to an unexpected issue with fulfillment."

    They didn't even bother sending me and email or any other communication.

      Er… are they saying that they'll refund the full amount to you as Groupon credit instead of back to your payment method??? If so, that's pretty low.
