      For best balance cut yourself in half and put your each half on each seat

    This would have been useful when google maps used to suggest taking a kayak across the ocean when you asked for directions to a location overseas.

  • Haha Hihi Hoho on 14/01/2021 - 17:11

    God damn, was going to buy after watching the review and then the K2 sold out ….

    the discount only applies to one item only, even though I have two in checkout

    Due to FOMO, I bought a double seater when I’m single. What’s the pickup scene like in the kayaking community?

      Hang around drowning people and you should be set

        but he said pickup, not bump off

        • RichardMelbourne on 14/01/2021 - 20:59

          I didn't say drown them: I assumed he'd literally pick them up 😇

    • May4th on 14/01/2021 - 18:23

      the ideal tinder date - no chance of ghosting you on the date.. not unless they can swim really really well anyway

    You can rescue swimmers from shark attacks in seemingly safe waters, which is sure to put you in good stead with your preferred persuasion

  • team teri on 14/01/2021 - 21:27

    Oh bummer, just ordered repair patches for the Coleman kayak I have, could have just bought a new one instead…

    Nice deal!

  • dubo1981 on 14/01/2021 - 23:22

    Good timing! Need a new one due to ripping a 60cm hole in my current one tackling low water in Warrandyte.

  • Cluster on 15/01/2021 - 00:52

    I highly recommend getting a solid kayak. It will be easier to row (less resistance, and it doesn't bend as you're rowing). There is no risk of a puncture. It will last longer.

    The people I know who purchased inflatable kayaks used them at the maximum three times before giving up.

    • team teri on 15/01/2021 - 10:22

      Not everyone is the same.

      Some people don't have roof racks on their cars. Some people don't want to lift 30+ kg onto their cars and carry that weight from the car park to the water's edge. Some people don't have the storage space. Some people don't use it often enough to justify spending 3 times the price.

      Sure, I agree, solid kayaks move a lot easier in the water. In an inflatable it's all but impossible to keep up with a solid one. But if you're going out alone or with friends who are also in inflatables, and do it not for speed, but to enjoy the great outdoors, something like this is a very good option.

      I've had my Coleman for about 10 years now. After the first enthusiasm died down I used it on average 3 to 5 times a year. Well worth the money (was about $150 back then). Even if I had roof racks, I wouldn't have wanted to store a solid one, it would have been in the way a lot. I rather spend ~5 minutes pumping mine up than carrying a solid one, less effort for me, even with a manual pump.

    • treeman on 17/01/2021 - 21:17

      Don't worry I'm sure ozbargainers will be lucky to use it even once.

  • drawkcab on 15/01/2021 - 11:41

    Are these suitable for kayaking at beaches? (With the water relatively calm)

    • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 16:40

      I'm an admin of a few kayak groups on Facebook. I've seen some nasty videos and rescues so I speak of experience, my friend has actually rescued other kayakers who were on BCF/Anaconda Specials.

      It's not about the current or how calm the water is. It's the wind that will get you.

      Anything over 10km/h and we don't recommend heading out. But it also depends on wind direction and speed. 10km/h with a head on wind from launching will be a wet ride and you'll take on a lot of water from crashing waves.

      Other kayaks have means to disperse this water with scupper holes but something like this inflatable thing won't.

      So I'd say if it's anything over 6km/h don't use this. Don't use this in bays or off-shore. We even have baby great whites and Makos in Port Phillip bay ATM!

      https://petapixel.com/2020/11/04/kayaker-films-herself-almos…

      I could post 100 videos here of people ignoring conditions and needing rescuing. 3 people died just last week alone. Unfortunately it's generally males over 35+ who drown the most on kayaks due to inability to swim well, this is what was found by research. If you can't swim 5km you're in big trouble.

      • RichardMelbourne on 15/01/2021 - 17:12

        Thanks for the advice. I bought one of these and only plan on using it at places like Ferntree Gully Quarry Recreation Reserve, Devilbend Reservoir and Cardinia Reservoir (and obviously wearing a PFD). I figured would be good to work out whether I enjoy it enough to regularly want to do it then might look at something better (and solid).

        Having said that, I still wouldn't want to go in bays, river rapids, etc. Just not my thing (not to mention I don't want anything taking a bite outta me).

  • [Deactivated] on 15/01/2021 - 13:31

    I'm only going to say this once, these are extremely unsafe. Don't use these in any Bay and definitely not off-shore.

    I'd even be reluctant to use this in a pool in the backyard!

    I own a Hobie Outback and the supported weight is 192kg. Most kayaks average around this amount.

    You've been warned, don't just buy a PFD but also you WILL NEED an EPIRB.

    Before buying think of your family and friends because you might be in the water for up to 6 hours before being rescued and in this case, you'll have nothing to hold onto.

    • RichardMelbourne on 15/01/2021 - 17:24

      Not sure why you were down-voted for giving your opinion - especially when you actually have a kayak, yourself.

      • bargainshooter on 23/01/2021 - 08:41

        People tend to downvote when a comment challenges their world view, whether it's an honest perspective or not. It's cheap. I want. Don't tell me things I don't want to know.

  • shabaka on 25/01/2021 - 15:00

    I was pondering getting one for a while, but decided to skip it because of the same concern I have with everything inflatable: punctures

    and lo and behold, last weekend saw a guy inflating K1 on the beach getting ready to do some kayaking, I talked to him about the convenience of it etc. but he discovered that he had a little puncture in it once fully inflated, so he didn't end up going anywhere besides home to fetch a puncture repair kit.

    it would be great to get some kayaking done but nah I will skip anything inflatable.

    • bargainshooter on 25/01/2021 - 15:13

      They come with puncture repair kits. No different to riding a bike with inflatable tyres.

      • shabaka on 25/01/2021 - 17:25

        never had a flat tire in my life

        but every inflatable thing that is related to water has been a problem so far

        • AznVinc3nt on 27/01/2021 - 10:00

          used mine over the weekend. no problems at all with it.

          considering the price, if you can get 10 trips out of it, it's already so worth it.

          its a solid inflatable kayak

  • cucumber on 28/01/2021 - 20:00

    Got mine and used it a couple of days ago. Tonzafun! My legs are still a little too short though even with the inflatable padding. Anyone else has this issue? What's your solution?
