Hi
I am a keen sea kayaker looking to move to the other side (but not give up my 5.4 m straight paddler).
I have all the strokes mastered, rolls etc, but none of the playboat stuff!
I have initially fairly generic requirements - a boat that will do everything but not to professional level and they tell me there's not that much in Aus (c/w a rafting trip down the zambezi for example)
I want to have something I can river run, don't know of any steep "creeks", but would like to do some fun stuff too - AND use it on a wave (that is - the sea type wave).
Boats that I've been told have the best of both worlds are:-
* Bliss stick scud - though it seems a bit stubby
* Pyranha seven 0
* dagger juice 7.1
I even have a possible second hand bliss stick blitz
I am a reasonably big guy - though lost a bit of weight recently after breaking my leg - usually around 6'1" and 100kg
Please help - I've reviewed all the other advice and there's plenty for tall stick men on this forum - just need some for me!
thanks
