Shockwave Sit-On-Top Kayak

$ 495.00

Quick Overview

The Shockwave is a great, stable, lighweight surfing sit on top kayak. Its integrated cat hull provides excellent propulsion and stability in surfing conditions and allows for backward surfing and stunts such as the 'Floater' 360.

The design allows for a smaller paddler to take a child or dog. It also comes with thigh straps, hatch and stainless steel security ring.

Product Description

Incredibly lightweight and stable, the Shockwave is a great plastic sit-on-top surfing craft. Its unique cat hull does away with sharp, awkward skegs, providing excellent stability and propulsion in surfing conditions while maintaining reasonable speed and directional tracking on flat water.

Features include:

* A design entirely lacking sharp breakable skegs makes for a craft with a shallow draught - meaning easy beaching and avoidance of damage when stored in your car, yacht or boat - and removes the opportunity for injury.
* Large volume making the craft suitable for the bigger paddler or those wishing to carry a child or dog on-board.
* Cut away sides for a more vertical (& efficient) paddling style.
* A large-volume back end allows easier catching of waves by floating up the wave face to drive you forward.
* Fast speed on a wave, with a large footprint to get you up and planing quickly, and a long keel line for speed along the wave face.
* Unique cat hull permits the performance of backward surfing and stunts such as the 'Blunt' 360 or 'Floater' 360 while on the wave's foam pile.
* Flat seat-to-rear area allows for easy eskimo rolls and backward leaning for travelling down the wave face.
* Fixtures for removable backrests, available in either hard plastic or soft foam variations, come standard.
* Adjustable leg straps provide incredible control in the surf, quickly and easily fitted to any paddler and even faster exited with a simple straightening of the legs. These straps also handily double as carry straps, making this light craft even easier to get down to the water.
* Fitted with a stainless steel security ring to allow you to bike lock it to your boat, ute or caravan.
* Carry handles at each end for easy portage or sharing the weight for children.
* Stowage hatch for taking small unsecured items with you (keys, wallet, etc.)
