“The service is second to none - top marks for Bay Sports on quick, personalised, responsive service. And patience with a couple of my followup questions. I haven't seen it if it exists but a user forum (perhaps using the facebook page?) for questions and experiences shared by us might help even more.
The Kayak - she is beautiful. Sleeker - and so faster - than most others around (slightly less stable is the tradeoff, but I haven't tipped her over yet as the keel is good). And just looks so awesome as she purrs through the water. I have now been on Lake, calm ocean and in creek.
A couple of tiny matters that could be looked at. The mini-trolley is 2-3cms too wide to fully fit into the rear compartment. That was a selling point, so a minor disappointment there. Also, the seating cockpit has no way of tipping out collected water. A small bunghole on the top side would resolve that, and make it easier to do a quick bale as waves (or rain) or just water sloshed in as I get in and out collects there.
I am still getting the rudder strings right for best effect there, but I am starting to see how that'll come together. Work in progress for me still.
And all up well under a grand - for all the above. That's astounding value, Australian made high quality. Cannot be sad about that at all.
This is a positive 4.5+ stars ... all but perfection. The SS. Kalianna Kayak is all but perfect.”
Hey Peter, Thanks for your kind words! The Mini Sit in Kayak trolley does in fact fit in the rear storage compartment. Our team have double checked and it does fit inside, just try putting it in from a different angle, but rest assured it fits in.
“Our whole experience of purchasing the kayaks online was fantastic. From purchase to delivery everything went smoothly. Very happy with how the kayaks handle in the water too. They fit nicely on the Rhino Rack Kayak carriers on our new RAV4 and are easy to transport, even up the M1! Highly recommend.”
“Over all pretty happy took awhile to get my kayaks but the way the world is going at the moment was expected bay spots kept me updated, wouldn't hesitate to buy through Bay Sports again”
“Well done Bay Sports. I ordered a kayak and accessories, and delivery arrived right on time at my property. I had many questions before I purchased, and the staff answered honestly and with professionalism. The kayak is good quality, the service friendly and emails were quickly returned. Now off to paddle!
