Australis PLATYPUS kayak, 4.3m

The Australis PLATYPUS is a single person kayak that has been designed specifically for touring on protected waterways. The cockpit is positioned at the widest part of the PLATYPUS for maximum stability and tapers down to a needle shaped nose that cuts through the water. The long sleek hull lends itself to speedy acceleration and excellent tracking, making the PLATYPUS ideal for covering longer distances with ease. There is a bulkhead sealed storage section in the rear that has enough space to carry the bare essentials that you would require to camp overnight. Between the bulkhead and the rear of the seat backrest there is enough space for maybe just your lunch and a drink. The performance of the Platypus on lakes and flat water rivers sets it apart from the general run-of-the-mill 4.5m sit-in kayaks. Take it for a paddle and see for yourself why Australis reckon their PLATYPUS "Paddles like a Dream"! The PLATYPUS also comes in a ruddered version priced at $1,299.
