Australis has some Christmas gift ideas to help you with those last minute buys - some new and some that are always popular. Gifts for family and friends or to treat youself.
This is a question we are often asked and there are many sites that offer suggestions. Australis has listed some of the webites under Canoe & Kayak Clubs and Places to Paddle. There are direct links to Paddling Associations across Australia as well as links to information and maps relating to NSW paddling trips. Don't foget that when you join an offical Canoe or Kayak Club there are many advantages such as advice, safety, insurance cover, skills development and friendships that may last a lifetime.
With Easter and the school holidays approaching it is a great time for the whole family to spend time doing things together that they may not have tried before.
What could be more fun than hiring a canoe or kayak and taking advantage of the beautiful sunny days we are enjoying now? Day hire (24hours) from Australis starts at $60 for a single sit-on-top kayak and $80 for a canoe or double sit-on-top. Weekend hire rates (3 days) are $90 and $140, so for a small cost you can have lots of water-based fun. For more detailed information click here to see our hire rates.
Remember, if you decide kayaking is too much fun for just the holidays and you decide to buy, when you return the craft you can ask to use the hire cost as your deposit on a brand new Australis kayak or canoe! [Hire is available from the Australis Factory and you need to take it away to the location you are going to paddle.]
Australis sit-on-top kayaks are designed by paddlers so that they perform on the water. We can explain the design features that make this possible but you will really notice the difference when you try an Australis kayak on the water. That is why we encourage you to try before you buy with a free test paddle or to hire if you want to give it a more thorough testing. It is also why we have so many customers coming in and telling us they want to buy an Ocky / Foxx / Squid / Lynxx / Cuttlefish because they have just tried one that belonged to a friend or someone they met on holidays. Thank you to everyone who is spreading the good news about how great it is to be able to buy quality Australian Made Australis kayaks.
Australis manufacture six sit-in kayaks or sit-on-top kayaks for people who are looking for a smaller or lighter craft. The whole family can enjoy these versatile kayaks as they are great for young children through to adults. These small kayaks are all made to perform on the water, weigh 15-20kg and are between 2.5 and 3 metres in length. Fishing Packages are also available for those who love fishing. Don't forget to stay safe while paddling - children under 12 must wear a PFD at all times when on the water.

The scroll bar above has lots of ideas - from a Pealess whistle for only $3 up to a Double Outrigger Kit to attach to your favourite man's Bushranger Canoe. One new item to check out is the Navilight 360 2NM if your man is likely to paddle early or late - a super bright 16LED light which is magnetic and floats! More options can be found under the Accessories tag on the website. Go on - spoil your man! You know he is worth it!
There's a bit of a chill in the air but that doesn't have to stop your kayaking. Winter is a great time to explore the more sheltered waters of rivers and lakes in your area. The clear sunny days are inviting and sea kayaks and sit-in kayaks offer protection for the paddler as the temperature drops. A spray deck and wind-proof jacket will keep you warm and dry warm inside the cockpit. Gloves and shoes are always popular and the addition of scuppa plugs will keep you drier if you prefer to paddle a sit-on-top.
Ocean, river or lake . . . wherever you go, take the opportunity to experience winter from the water.
