NextGen 9 Fishing Kayak Package - Blue Camo [Newcastle]

Made from Premium Virgin (not Recycled) Roto Moulded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic imported from the UK. HDPE is far superior in strength and durability than LLDPE.

Made with UV10 Stabilized plastic, perfect for Australian conditions. UV10 means protection for a total of 10,000 hours. Given 6-8 hours of UV exposure a day, the Kayak colour and strength will last for 1700 days approximately. That’s equivalent to 4-5 years of use every single day. Please note the UV index varies based on the location.

Aquadynamic shape with a V-shaped hull underneath, to ensure kayak can manoeuvre easily with less effort. Engineered with greater attention to the chine and rocker parts of the Kayak to provide greater stability under choppy conditions.

Ideal for both recreational and fishing purposes. Kayak is best suited for lakes, rivers, dams, estuaries and harbours. With these Kayaks, you can go where bigger boats can't such as kelp beds, reefs, mangrove shallows, coast cliff lines.

Lightweight Kayak with weight just 20 Kgs, easier to handle by just one person. Load capacity of 160Kgs; a result of better design and use of a premium material.

Luxury Vantage Aluminium seat provides superior comfort during long hours on the water. Great for alleviating pressure on your lower back. Helps you stay dry as you sit higher and it can also be used as beach chair.

Two large water resistant storage hatches with a removable protective bag to keep valuables safe. Both hatches are accessible while using Aluminium seat.

A specifically designed area to enable standing up while fishing. Helps you cast better, further and longer.

Tackle box insert inside the middle storage hatch for storing your lures, baits, etc.

Kayaks are stackable, making it easier to transport two-three kayaks at a time.

Disclaimer:

• Kayaks colours may vary slightly than depicted in images due to hand mixing of colours.

• The kayak weights are just approximate and can slightly vary.
• During the shipping process some kayaks may get compressed. This can be easily fixed by placing the kayak in the sun which will cause the plastic to expand to its original size.
• Due to the bulky nature of the product, there could be some scratches on the kayak when it is shipped to an address as it gets moved around in trucks and goes through various depots. These scratches are cosmetic only and won't impact the performance of the kayak. 
• Always check local weather conditions and wear an approved life jacket when kayaking.
• Check your state/local Marine (boat) license requirement to operate canoe/kayak with a trolling motor prior to purchasing.

What do HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE stand for?

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is softer and more flexible than HDPE. It also has a lower melting point (115° C) and is more transparent. Compared to HDPE, it is more likely to crack under stress.
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a copolymer of ethylene and another longer olefin, which is incorporated to improve properties such as tensile strength or resistance to harsh environments.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is rigid and durable and offers greater chemical resistance. Its higher melting point (135° C) allows it to withstand higher temperatures than LDPE. Its more crystalline structure also results in greater strength. It also has greater opacity which results in greater vibrancy and longer-lasting colour.
