    Item weight 1.1 Kilograms

    Surely it weighs more than that. I’d be surprised if the pump alone weighs that.

    Edit: one of the pictures show it in a carry bag with a weight of 11.8kg so not sure what referencing.

      Yeah, the picture shows 11.8kg but description has weirdly 1.1 kilogram, think it's a typo.

    I wonder about the rrp mentioned for this one seater. Check out the two seater, it is normally $145.17 down to $125.98

  • pencilman on 01/02/2023 - 07:12

    Woke up at 5am - and found out I missed out on this
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/754266

    Saw this, and bought due to FOMO - don't know where I can use it legally?
    Now need to find a cheap but safe life vest .

    Anyone know what the rules are regarding social paddling on the Yarra river or other water ways in Victoria?

    • Bullion78 on 01/02/2023 - 07:25

      Id also like to know this. Can you use these in the bay close to foreshore?

    • nuttapillar on 01/02/2023 - 07:43

      Aren't you allowed to kayak anywhere? Ive never even had to think about it. It's harmless.

        you can’t use one for international travel without the correct paperwork

        My local pool seems to think otherwise.
        The kid should have moved out of the way. 🤷

      Use it legally? But it's an inflatable boat!…it's not like a drone or electric scooter.

    • singlemalt72 on 01/02/2023 - 08:41

      There are virtually no rules when it comes to paddling, certainly etiquette and safety suggestions, but no rules other than wearing an approved PFD

    • TanedaR on 01/02/2023 - 10:14

      don't know where I can use it legally

      On your local streets when it's flooded.
      So you can get supplies from supermarket.

    This weekend when everyone is kayaking down the Yarra - you'd know it's an OzBargainer.

    Have had two K2 Challenger kayaks for a couple of years now and they are great. Not built for speed, but they are very stable. Also very portable and quick to inflate with hand pump provided (about 5-10 minutes max). Only real downside from my perspective is removing the water/moisture prior to packing them away.

    • SuperLate on 02/02/2023 - 12:06

      Got it delivered today, now wondering how to get in and out without getting wet or is it unavoidable to stay dry in calm waters ? And any tips to avoid holes in this other than keeping it packaged. Thanks.

      • typhon on 02/02/2023 - 13:42
        +3

        Unless entry/exit is from a dock or similar, it is pretty much unavoidable to get at least slightly wet feet. Also, during paddling small amounts of water tend to drip of the oars into the kayak. We keep a chamois or microfibre towel in the carry bag to wipe out any excess moisture when packing away, which isn't usually very much after leaving the kayak in the sun to dry off.

        The kayaks are constructed with a heavy duty plastic vinyl (i.e. not your typical kids inflatable pool ring material). It can be folded and refolded many times without risk of holes/perforations along the folds. During use, you need to be careful to avoid submerged trees/branches or sharp rocks, but generally you would be moving at a relatively slow pace and these are easy to spot. The kayaks are constructed with multiple inflatable compartments/components so in the event of a serious puncture it will still float (be sure and wear a life jacket however).

        • SuperLate on 02/02/2023 - 14:11

          Getting wet feet is not at all an issue, keeping a small towel is a good idea. Never thought about submerged trees be an issue, a great tip. Thanks.
          so just stay away from any kinda rocks and trees in water to start with it would take time to spot an quickly manoeuvre for learners.
          Would you need a waterproof bag for essential electronics or just leave them in car as a good riddance for a while.
          Is it too difficult/tiring to paddle against the flow of water in this ?

          • typhon on 02/02/2023 - 16:06
            +3

            @SuperLate: Would definitely recommend a waterproof bag for phone, wallet, keys etc if carrying onboard. Just a zip lock bag with a bit of air left in it for flotation is okay or something like this is also a good option - https://www.bcf.com.au/p/sea-to-summit-light-dry-bag-1l/5162…

            Unless only doing it for a short distance or a very slow current, paddling against the flow can be a real chore. If kayaking on a river, pre-plan your journey, get someone to drop you off upstream and go down with the current to a suitable downstream landing location. I would recommend for beginners to start on a lake or reservoir to gain some skills on calm water before heading down a flowing river.

  • yewman on 01/02/2023 - 08:37

    Any suggestions for a good portable electric inflator/compressor for one of these?

      Kmart have one for $10. I think they have the normal 230v version and a 12v version for your car

      No need, these pump up very easily. Not like the damn inflatable dinghies

    • parker2004au on 01/02/2023 - 09:08

      YMMV but we used a Ryobi inflator on the high volume setting and it was quicker to pump manually.

      Use the pump provided. I split my Intex Challanger when I used the pump from my drop stitch kayak on it. These intex kayaks can only take like 1psi

  • jonnys1n on 01/02/2023 - 09:01

    these are ok for casual use (paddling around calm beaches & rivers) but any serious use these would be some hard work. poor tracking and they sit high on the water so you have to fight wind hard. this price is a great deal for a casual paddle though and anyone in small apartments

  • Yabadabadoo on 01/02/2023 - 09:04

    Also interested in any life vest recommendations as they are almost as expensive as these and i need 2 so more than the kayak!

    • frugalftw on 01/02/2023 - 09:30

      Was gonna ask, do you have to wear life vest kayaking? Or have a lifesaver onboard? What’s the safety recommendations?

      • dammit on 01/02/2023 - 12:21
        +1

        usually if you are within 200m of shore it may not be required depending on state, but better to be safe than sorry. You should be able to find a cheap one at BCF, Decathlon etc for $30-40 buck if you are savvy

        • frugalftw on 01/02/2023 - 14:18

          Thanks. Missed the deal so when it comes back will trip to BCF to get a vest.

  • crentist on 01/02/2023 - 09:14

    Protip for these: get some Gorilla Glue. It's a water cured, expanding, flexible drying glue that adheres very well to this material.
    Works really well for fixing small holes. Don't even need patches, just pour on a glob.
    The included repair kit is a joke.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2023 - 09:24

      i’ve found that Gorilla Crystal Clear Tape works really well

    • SuperLate on 01/02/2023 - 09:49

      Stock is still available but store has increased the price to $119 to take the advantage of OzBargainers interest !

    We’ve taken our 2 person on the Yarra from Herring Island to The Melbourne Rowing Club by St Kilda Rd. It’s a great leasurely paddle, you’ve just got to watch out for the scenic and bbq boats but we didn’t find it a hassle.

    i have 3 of these , i used this air pump from kmart to pump them up.

    Also got a dry bag to keep the pump in.

    also highly suggest making sure you wear a PFD(life jacket).
