This is the manufacturers splurge -
Dolfinn
At a Glance Specifications Length: 3.2m
Width: 82cm
Weight: 22kg
Volume: 320 litres
Manufacturer:
Finn Kayaks (Perth, WA)
Manufacturer Warranty:
5 years against faulty materials and workmanship
General Description
Following our tradition of bringing paddling to the people, we are happy to introduce the "DOLFINN", a super stable wave ski style sit-on kayak that is suitable for paddlers (and non paddlers) at all levels.
Multiple footwells allow people of various sizes to comfortably use this craft and with seating positions providing for one or two paddlers, the "DOLFINN" is truly a boat that everyone can enjoy.
From lazy-day cruisers, children or couples, to thrill seeking surf chasers, the DOLFINN delivers the goods.
Standard Features
Outfitted with end-loops, drainage bung, removable skeg, padded centre seat, seat-belts for two & cushioned footstraps , the "DOLFINN" is ready to go!
At only 22 kilograms it is easily handled by one person. Safety is a must so we have incorporated 30 litres of internal foam for buoyancy and the "DOLFINN" has been surveyed and is Department of Transport Hire List approved.
Whether it be the river or surf, you'll be amazed at the versatility, strength and lightness of this craft.
Other features include:
Removeable skeg for better control in the surf.
Adjustable backrests available for more comfortable cruising
Cutaway sides for a more efficient paddling position.
As an owner here are some of my opinions!!
Stability 7
Easy to lift 7
On and off the car 5
To and from the water - use trolley
How does it feel on the water
Tracking 7
Turning 6
Speed 3 (it is a wave ski!)
Does it cut through the waves or ride over the top of them - over the top
Hull slap - with any speed ( I use Minnkota trolling motor )
Seating 2
Is it dry or wet? - reasonably dry
Is it comfortable? yes
