Kaskazi Skua Sea Kayak
Skewer through the water on this sea kayak.
The great thing about kayaking is that it’s super easy to learn. Keen beans don’t stay beginners for very long. The downside is that people who’ve bought a beginner-specific boat soon find themselves scanning the classifieds for something more advanced.
A kayak for any paddler
A great advantage of the Skua is that it is suited to paddlers of all abilities. It’s stable and forgiving enough for novices, but at the same time is a high-performance kayak that you can use in rough seas.
Built for speed
The long, sleek shape is clearly designed for speed. It has plenty of space to stow stuff, so you could happily use if for longer expeditions.
It's versatile
And although it’s billed as a sea kayak, it’s equally at home on lakes and dams. For river trips, however, you’ll want something shorter and made from plastic rather than fibreglass.
Price: R10 850 (excludes shipping)
