Hi ,

I am after some advice on buying a new kayak . I am 5"7 143 pounds and have 8.5 feet . i am paddling grade 3 and enjoy paddling the upper Mitta river, and the King River in NE VIctoria Australia . But also am likely to surf in it as well. I am paddling a dagger animas but seem a little light to really enjoy what the river/surf has to offer .

I am considering the pyrahna ammo small , but am open to any other suggestions

Any help/advice would be much appreciated


Cheers
Sam

Hi Sam

Sounds like you need a Fluid Spice! It is a awesome river runner and can surf/play anything from river holes to ocean waves.
