hi there!
as much as i love my on/water sports, back in the day when i was a wee little boy (2 years ago :) i had soo much fun kayaking and paddling up the coast in some cheap plastic (or was it cardboard?) kayak....probably came in a happy meal or something!
anywho i remember really enjoying it and i want to do it again. the only issue is i have absolutely no idea what is actually good :)
it must:
1) second hand
2) sold in PERTH
3) be in my pricerange of $500-$750 (ish)
3.5) float
beacuse im not uber rich and still studying i reckon maybe a second hand one will do, but in the For Sale section of seabreeze there are about 4 to 5 listings, but i have absolutley no idea what is gewd for an entry level person
now now, with all things such as my computer, camera and girl-friend, i prefer to get good quality things so they last, but not all the bells and whistles that i will never use :)
So if someone/people are able to help... or more or less refer to the adds to help me i will be most happy :D
thanks!
I have a fibreglass kayak you could have for half that. But I am a few hours out of perth.
okay, but like what is the difference between them? is it lighter? will it do long haul trips? ie Hillarys to the inner CBD with a weight load - me 50KG + food and stuffs
:)
if u have an anaconda they hire out all of their kyaks pretty cheap as a sort of try before you buy type thing.
oh okay, thanks for the tips, but then im guessing anaconda dont do second hand gear?
Gday Timmyz,
Do you want to fish off it or paddle long distances/camp out of it?
If you want a good ocean going kayak try Rivergods in Myaree, they flog their ex-hire stuff they send out to Penguin Island etc. It cost me about $1000 but I got a good yak off them last year that suited what I was chasing.
If you want a fishing rig try www.kayakfishingstuff.com.au , ask around on there and you'll find something that suits your needs.
Cheers,
Brett
yeh, pretty much for short haul paddles, i will mainly use it for DSLR photography of other marine craft - competitions ect :)
unitl i can afford a dinghy :D
No worries. Have a look at the http://www.kayakfishingstuff.com.au/ then.
The fishing kayaks are generally the "sit on top" type, a lot wider than the sit-ins and therefore more stable when you're not on the move. Most of them have waterproof-ish hatches for stashing what you need to.
Maybe a bit out of the price range but the Hobie kayaks have a pedal system rather than a paddle which would be handy if you wanted your hands free for taking happy snaps.
Cheers.
