Geeze I'm trying real hard not to make a comment about your last statement Brendan
Anyone got an inflatable i could test or looking to sell?
its tough but I think I can hold back :evilgrin:
Widsa?

anyway here is a pic of Frappas yak I found on my pc, I was also amazed at how durable and tough the material looks, Frappa has set it up very well with and aluminium frame that is bungied to the yak (no self tappers) and has all sorts of tackle boxes and things mounted to it, very clever.

once i can get the coin together...and it doesn't get thrown at something more 'important' i will be getting one for the boys

They both love my yak so getting one thats a bit easier to transport and easier to store looks fantastic...and they love the peddles!!

Nothing against the inflatables but i would be looking at a sport for the loved ones. It might be a little sexist of me but i reckon guys like frappa and smish would have a bit more nouse about them around the inflatable.

If the sport is too expensive then maybe one of the cheaper paddle yaks from somewhere like the guy in hoppers?

Good luck with it though? Nice to have someone to share the long trips from wop wop to the city and great bonding time.
cheers

When my 17 year old daughter came home with her boyfriend I was wearing my karate uniform and there was a casually placed speargun within reach of me, r.e.s.p.ect it should be a recognised sport :up:
