The Foxx

The Foxx has the same profiled deck as the Ocky, which means that it will stack with the Ocky, with another Foxx or on top of a Squid, but with an extra 30cm of keel in the water, you will find that the Foxx will run in a straight line easier than the Ocky.
The Foxx is a robust sit-on-top that is 3.0 metres long and at 18kg, is lightweight for easy lifting and carrying.
The extra wide seat takes larger adults in comfort, or allows a small child passenger to sit between your legs.
In addition to hand toggles at each end (for easy 2 person carrying), there is a moulded hand hold at the centre for simple 1 person portability.
The storage well moulded in at the rear carries your picnic or change of clothes (in a dry bag), and the profile of the deck allows the Foxx to stack on top of one another (or under an Ocky or on top of a Squid) for easier transporting and storage.
The Foxx can be upgraded with a deluxe backrest, and the bars that the backrest attaches to are moulded-in (not riveted or screwed on) for secure attachment.
With all the standard Australis Performance Paddling Features (front-to-rear "rocker", soft chines on the front and hard chines on the rear, a tapered bow and a moulded-in keel), the Foxx is great on flat water or in the surf!!
So if you are looking for a sit-on-top kayak that will paddle like a Squid but stack like an Ocky, then the Foxx is what you are looking for.
