Fishing Victoria Forum

The last couple of pages of this thread has filled me with the sort of seething rage that I usually reserve for people that knowingly sell defective merchandise...wait, that's because that is exactly what's going on here........ I bought the fisher price of pedal kayaks...I'm an idiot. Sorry to hea...

Being do more research, contacted two ex-retailers of KK kayaks, I sent both the pictures of the damage, One from the Sunshine Coast "Mate sorry to hear this but it’s not a surprise we stopped selling this brand more than 12 months ago (never touched the doubles only some singles). We had issues wit...

There are definitely no flotation compartments or foam in the kayak. Looks like getting a couple of 'pool noodles' and sticking them inside the kayak is a cheap option. any other ideas to keep the kayak afloat in a similar accident as Bruffy? Will be hugging the coast line....... no more than 1 km ...

I'd never buy one but the bloke is probably right in that it isn't a manufacturing fault and therefor not a warranty issue in the usual sense. Rather, it is poor design and I guess that is reflected in the price compared to other peddle kayaks. Anyway, if you wanted to take the issue further I'd be...

Silly question. Will a kayak sink to the bottom or will it 'float' after taking in water if there is no floatation compartments/devices? Hi Lazy! I haven't got the thing back in the water to video it sinking. it didn't fully sink, it capsized and the keel was just above the waterline. Foam noodles ...

Below is the reply I got from the retailer after I informed them of the incident...... Not only do they sell dud kayaks they sold it to a disabled man with a brain injury and refused to take it back after he realised his error when they should never have sold it to him in the first place. They you c...

This is why the hobie fin masts are not that strong, by design, if you hit something they will bend and absorb the shock before the drive or hull breaks. Simple fact is impacts will happen and with such force that something has to bend or break, better it be a replaceable service item. Yes i know t...

Regardless of whether its a tandem or a single, I suspect that the design is the same. When you hit the log, that part that you circle in red would have wedged down and break the hull. Reckon the whole area of the housing needs to reinforced or redesigned...... a secondary lock that will 'give' so ...

Damage pix from Kings Kraft tandem kayak. Hope they turn out. This hole resulted from a minor collision, the kayak capsized and sank to the water's surface within minutes. Hope to put a video on You Tube soon.

I bought one in Oct 17- king kraft 11 pedal but have not taken the maiden voyage as yet. Bruffy, did it ripped the fixtures and part of the bottom off? Hope no one was injured. Just to expand, your one may be OK, it's not a tandem so if the drive hits something then there is less force to impart on...
