The Pelagic - The large volume sit-on for 1 person
The Pelagic is a 4.3m robust, large volume sit-on-top kayak suitable for people of all sizes, or just those who just want to be able to take a huge amount of gear.
Designed and made in Australia, the Pelagic has an extra wide comfortable seat, extra long foot wells (to accommodate taller paddlers) and an extra large rear storage well with cargo straps.
There are many features as standard including kiss offs in the hull to provide structural support and allow water to drain through quickly, thick (6mm) decklines front and rear to secure cargo or to grab onto from the water and a large oval hatch to access internal storage space in the front. Hand toggles located at each end of this kayak make for easy 2 person carrying, and the hand strap on the side enables it to be carried by one person.
The Pelagic is available in an angler package for the fishing enthusiast, and it can also be upgraded with a rudder. This includes adjustable, sliding footrests to control direction and a sea kayak style flip over rudder with the raise/lower controls conveniently located alongside the paddler.
The wide bow of the Pelagic gives greater surface area and volume to help it to lift in rough/choppy conditions rather than spear and bury.
