WHY CHOOSE SKIP

  • Parents love the Skip – it’s tons of fun for the kids and they stay close to the shore while enjoying themselves.
  • Because of its manoeuvrability and tracking, the Skip is not compromised in any way. This enables you to get the boat to do what you want from the effort you’re putting in. It tracks quite well, but will turn quickly if required due to its great manoeuvrability. It is solely a play boat, and kids can stand up on it, tip it over and use it as a floating diving board. It becomes a challenge to see how far you can paddle it while standing up.
  • If you’re an adult and love to surf, it’s a fantastic surf boat – we use it ourselves and it’s our first choice of boat when we’re at the ocean as you can catch every wave – much to the envy of the surfers!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Skip story:

We wanted a kayak that was easy to transport around, offered uncompromised stability and capability for that weight and class of boat. It had to be stackable and easy to carry.

It’s a boat for all ages and parents can relax, knowing that it’s not a boat for long distances, and that kids will stay close while using it. It’s a play boat in every sense of the word.

We expect it’s a boat that will get handed down and stay in the family for years and years.

What’s in a name?

A skippy is what Australians call a kangaroo and they always look like they’re bouncing around having a lot of fun. That’s what this boat’s for. If we do a smaller version, then we’ll call it the ‘Joey’.
