Bought a double kayak for my misses birthday. Ordering was super easy and the guy at the warehouse was a really good bloke who helped me get the kayak all sorted on my roof racks. The kayak is super stable the colour is wicked and overall the experience has been great. - Nick Cashin

The customer service is top notch very friendly helpful staff at Newcastle. And their online store is easy to navigate Looking forward to many years of enjoying out of my next gen 9. - Benjamin John Kirkman

Best value-for-money kayak you can buy. I love that it comes with all the bits you need straight out of the box as it were. Its also the only kayak under $1000 that has a rudder (at least as far as I could make out). Very easy to rig up paddles nicely. I really love it. Bad points: the only compartment to store stuff like your phone in is not waterproof. I capsized and my phone got wet (lucky i have a water resistant cover). Whatever you do dont put too much stock in the YouTube video of the guys standing in various spots on the yak and not rolling over; it doesnt take much to tip it when youre sitting in the thing. Another nightly thing is the plastic ferrule on the rudder retraction cord - it pops up and makes the rudder steer to one side which means you need to have your feet on the steering pedals at all times. Overall I am VERY happy with my new yak it looks great goes well and does what it should. Four-and-a-half Stars out of five. - Erasmus Morgan
