Post by: sooty on September 11, 2012, 08:22:58 PM

Has anyone had any experience with Byron Blue kayaks? Cheap imports or what

Not sure anyone in Aust is making rotomoulded Kayaks, so would be imported.
Seems strange to be Byron Blue Kayaks, advertised as Byron Bay, but warehouse is in western Sydney???

You see them under all different names so they are definately imports. A yaks a yak as far as I'm concerned. Dont be concerned about where they are made, if you see something you like, buy it and get on the water 

There are some Australian made kayaks out there. Up here in Brisbane we have Viking and Extreme Kayaks made locally. Not sure about down Sydney way though.
