Not the best price ever but still pretty good. Not sure what else you could get at this price.

You'll need to buy paddles though.

This sit on top kayak was designed for fun-loving paddlers, comes with a backrest and storage hatch for added storage beneath the deck, rear with cargo net cover, bow storage area with bungee cords. The stackable design makes it easy to store between paddles.

High Density Polyethylene
Load Capacity
125 kg (personally I think it suits someone under 100kg)

Dimensions
266 x 66 x 25 cm
Product Weight

    Just a PSA, this model has a distinct lack of scupper holes to drain water out while paddling, so in rough water, it can fill up and not drain easily.

      good spotting. thx

      Good call. Its a basic kayak. Dont go out on rough water :)

    Also probably more importantly, the weight distribution in this isn't great/buoyancy is limited/front end design isn't great for shedding water. It's very front heavy. In anything more than a glassy lake you'll find yourself struggling.

    I've seen people paddle these and if you're anything above an average sized teenager i would not recommend this. Good practical joke though if gifting to someone larger.

      Thanks for the heads up. You just saved me $149…

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 19/02/2021 - 15:15

      The guy in the video is 97kg and seemed ok with it. I guess if someone is heavier then probably dont go for this to be safe…

      Did you paddle on this? I go to the beaches at royal nasho, paddle in Georges's river with this never had any issue and I'm 75kg.

      • sharkyoz on 19/02/2021 - 15:43

        dont fall in then, just the right size for a shark feed

        Lizzy regina won't be impressed.

  • he11bent on 19/02/2021 - 15:02

    Read a few reviews while on hold on the phone.
    DO NOT BUY, unless you plan on using it in your pool, that's as safe as it'll get.

    • he11bent on 19/02/2021 - 15:05

      Mind you, I've never seen so many crap reviews and yet so many have bought it. Over 2000 purchases with a 3 star average rating. If I see a product with over 1000 purchases and only 3 star review on average, I'm going to stay the heck away.

        The blue one has 4.2 rating :)

        • he11bent on 19/02/2021 - 15:20

          HOWW???? LOL
          It's the same thing except blue

          • fantombloo on 19/02/2021 - 20:45

            @he11bent: More inconspicuous - you look less unco as you struggle to keep it afloat. Therefore better. Maybe.

        Go look at any other product on Anaconda and you'll find it's a similar story.

        Reviews in Anaconda tend to be quite low - despite the same products elsewhere having higher reviews.

        Maybe they just don't "filter" them out?

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 19/02/2021 - 15:21

      Bit harsh considering the guy in the video didn't have a problem and I've seen people with this at the creek that are floating :)

      • tritorius on 19/02/2021 - 16:40

        Get big swells at the Creek?

    • [Deactivated] on 19/02/2021 - 15:36

      Hahaha if a kayak could even be had for $1800 we wouldnt be using Hobie outbacks at $4700.

      Enough said.

  • SydShopCat on 19/02/2021 - 15:04

    Max load is 125kg, I weigh 122kg, and someone who said they weigh 60kg found that this kayak took on water and sat low in the water.

    Probably not a good idea for me.

    • shakoo on 19/02/2021 - 15:16

      i'm in the (hehe) same boat.

      but in all seriousness, similar weight here. i had someone tell me some advice when it comes to kayak/paddleboards. which was - if you weigh more than 80% of the max load rating, don't get it. it just won't handle right and is even more applicable for paddleboards than kayaks.

      also, take in to account the gear you'll be bringing - paddle, pfd, water bottle, snacks etc.

    • anamul on 19/02/2021 - 15:39

      He lied, this is not an excellent Kayak but it's okay. I'm 75kg and never had any issue even in the ocean.

  • UberIsCool on 19/02/2021 - 15:32

    This looks like one i used to take out in Sydney harbour, pretty heavy and you cant tip them over.

  • FLICKIT on 19/02/2021 - 15:37

    So, any suggestions for a better budget kayak?

    • fantombloo on 19/02/2021 - 20:46

      Get something second hand. A new one will be second hand after the first use anyway and you won't be precious about it.

      • FLICKIT on 19/02/2021 - 21:30

        That's what I've been considering, probably a traditional style plastic so I can run a skirt/spray-deck for Tassie winters…

        I have an old fiberglass one I picked up off the tip broken in half about 30 years ago which I fiberglassed back together and got good use out of….. Now I have the inkling to get back out again I figure it's time for an upgrade, I've been considering a pack-raft but the cost is crazy, just narrowing down options with a frugal approach in mind…

  • dynaflow on 19/02/2021 - 15:57

    You need to lose the phrase "budget kayak" and pony up for something halfway decent like a Malibu Mini X…Double hatches,only 39lb.and bulletproof.

    In laws bought two of these to keep at their beach shack and they’ve been fine. We use them on a bay with very little swell and they are fine for just tooling around. I have paddled them with one of my kids on it and the combined weight is approx 100kg with no issues whatsoever. No issues taking on water or steering etc etc.

  • SirFrankGrimes on 19/02/2021 - 17:38

    Bought two of these in March 2020 deal. Used a few times but it started falling apart (buckles broke, rubber seals leaked, transport wheel wore out). Got to Shark Island from Rose Bay then to Milk Beach, but the kayak was full with water. I’m 80kg.

    The plastic composition is terrible. Scratches very easily (deep scratches too).

    Not for those who want to do anything but paddle on a glassy lake. Avoid if you weigh over 50-60kg too (as stated previously)

    Cheap and flimsy landfill

    • iNeedMoreMoney on 19/02/2021 - 17:56

      That's interesting. Are they the red ones by any chance?

      • SirFrankGrimes on 19/02/2021 - 19:08

        I bought one red and one blue. Both sucked to be completely honest. Not worth your time. Buy a second hand kayak on Gumtree or but an inflatable if you’re not looking to spend more than $150-200

  • AKJJ on 19/02/2021 - 17:51

    I’ve been using one of these for a few years and can’t complain. No issues so far, though my use is only every few weeks on a very still lake. I’m ~70kg and find it takes on a bit of water from the splashing of the the paddle, but nothing dramatic. Not sure I’d feel comfortable taking it out on a river or the ocean.

    Purchased 2 about a year ago. We are 86kg and 82kg, both about 177cm and use them often.

    First time kayakers and we are happy with them.

    Often use them in choppy water of Moreton Bay with no real problems. Couple of times we had problems was when it was very choppy, but there were no other paddlers out on those days, indicating conditions were crap.

    There are scuppers but not as useful as they should be.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/02/2021 - 18:55

    I've got one of these, it's absolutely fine unless you're in chop, then water will come over the sides, but it wont sink, (it's full of air). I was using it this weekend, it was great. Only draw back is there aren't any real mounting points for things like go pro etc.

    Waiting till they throw a life jacket and paddle in again for this price.

  • miwahni on 21/02/2021 - 02:30

    I bought one of these when they were on sale in January, have taken it out at Cabbage Tree Point twice now with no problems. I'm a beginner - only kayaked once before in a hire craft at Hamilton Island - and I find it's fine for what I want to do, which is just to muck about on the water. The wheel doesn't seem too sturdy and I could end up buying a little cart for dragging it around, but all in all I'm happy with it. It does take on a bit of water though and I wouldn't want to venture out too far in it.
