About the Komodo by Australis

  • The Komodo is a modular sea kayak that can be used as a 5.85m single or 7.4m double expedition sea kayak, or it can be taken apart for easy storage and transporting.

  • The Komodo is the only take-apart sea kayak available on the market that can be converted from a double to a single kayak and back again, and as such there are no kayaks that we can directly compare the Komodo to.
    As such, the Komodo will be compared with other double kayaks that are promoted as being suitable for sea kayaking or expeditions.
