The Ocky - Great Performance, Great Versatility, Great Value for Money

The Ocky is a robust sit-on-top that is 2.7 metres long and at 16kg, 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 Ocky to stack on top of one another (or with a Foxx or Squid) for easier transporting and storage.
The Ocky 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 Ocky is a little ripper, especially in the surf!!
