2 person kayaks

Hi John,
Check these guys out, Maclean Outdorrs

I've known Doug & Sandra for many years. Give them a call.

We've had an RTM Ocean Duo sit on top kayak for a while now and it suits our needs fairly well. Weighs 29kg, which is fairly heavy for a single person to handle, so I made up a set of wheels, and its pretty robust - good in the surf as well as rivers etc. It has 3 seat positions, so you can use it as a single or double.

Johnny boy,
BCF at Hastings river drv Port Macquarie have all different styles to choose from. Which van park are you in at the Rocks.
Cheers Dave..

We have a Hobie Outfitter which is a peddle-powered tandem. Fantastic! The whole family has converted from a 5m runabout & 3.3m inflatable to the kayak without a problem.

As an example of the convenience, I loaded the Pajero up by myself in about 20 minutes on Saturday morning (the yak is 32kg but I made an extension bar for the roofrack that makes it easy to handle alone), another 15 minutes to set up to go fishing on Port Philip Bay with a couple of others from the Australian Kayak Fishing Forum (www.akff.net). A couple of flatties and pinkies and a great morning. No fuel, rego, insurance, servicing etc - just a bit of excercise! The kids are 13, 9.5 and 3. Can take the two youngest and an adult or works well alone.

Not cheap ($3,150 new) but hold their value well if you need to sell and are very well designed & made.

Try BCF, I bought a Manta Dragonfly Angler, 2 person with 3 rod holders etc. just prior to Xmas for $599.00. Unbelievable value compared to everywhere else that we looked.

Consider also inflateables. I've got Sevylors. Made from the same material as Zodiacs.

Hi John
There gave been some good replies above. As I am from SA, I to purchased our kayaks through Adelaide Canoe Works. We have the Dagger brand sit in type kayaks. For the double, we have the Drifter 2, which is a very stable kayak with lots of room. When paddling solo I have a Dagger Discovery 15. We have used ours in many places, from the Coorong to the upper reaches of the Murray.

One very important upgrade that I would suggest is to go for good quality, light weight paddles. You might not think so at the time but they will make the biggest difference when out on the water. Just like when driving, I have my GPS mounted on the front of both kayaks and record my paddles to download on OziExplorer.

You are back to nature with kayaks, as you glide silently through the water, where to get to see, smell and hear nature at its best.

Below are a few pictures of the Drifter 2

Cheers

Hi Johnny Boy,

I have to "sit on" Kayaks that must be one of the best value things I have for camping. They are nothing fancy but are great fun. My kids love using them and we aim to go to places where they can be used.

The red Finn kayak in the picture is the Widget (smaller version of the Gizmo) and is perfect for young kids while still fitting an adult (the Gizmo feet supports are too far for youngsters). The green Kayak is a Viking Pacer and I can easily have a kid sit between my legs and still paddle. I paid around $400 each for these a few years ago, waited till they had the specials at Ranger Camping (I think).



You can just make out in this last pic me paddling with one of my kids sitting between my legs. You can see how low its sitting in the water compared to when just one of the kids is using it.

Cheers

We have a Hobie Kona http://www.hobiecat.com.au/kayaking/kona.html#
