The Salamander - the best value Expedition sea kayak
Designed and Made in Australia

Speed, Responsiveness and Stability are important when paddling long distances on open ocean, and the Salamander is designed to perform! This is an Expedition Sea Kayak will turn in its own length!!
The storage compartments within the hull provide abundant space for gear & there are several places on the deck where luggage can also be secured.
A large day hatch is conveniently located within easy reach behind the paddler on the right hand side of the kayak which allows the paddler to access supplies whilst on the water.
The "flap" steering system can be quickly and easily adjusted to suit people of different heights and gives a firm platform to brace against when paddling.
The controls for lifting and lowering the traditional drop-over rudder are located on the front deck. Maximum safety and stability are maintained at all times as the paddler is always sitting "square" to the front of the kayak.
The Salamander is a great kayak for people just starting out in sea kayaking, and has all the features that an experienced paddler would look for. The Salamander is recommended for taller paddlers (up to 6'7") and people who require a larger sea kayak.
