Howdie from QLD - SE Brisbane (Sunnybank)

Postby Hilzy45 » Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:33 pm

Hi All,

Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone on the forum. I have recently purchased my first kayak (read as last saturday :lol: ) and used the information availible on this forum during my due diligence stage :)

Just wanted to thank everyone one the forum for their contributions as it made my purchase more informed about what i wanted out of a kayak and the choice which was availible for me. I ended up picking up a SkyBlue Viking ProFish45 new from Alex @ Chermside and it was a fabulious expirence to say the least! I have it fitted with the rudder and have plans already for a leccy motor for trolling purposes only - leaving the almightly paddle power for getting around :lol:

I have many many plans for the yak but will start off by getting out and using the thing for a few trips before i start doing any major installs/mods of sorts - this is what iv read many many times on AKFF ;-)

Really looking forward to getting out on some trips with members and learning as much as i can as quickly as i can, yes i am an absulute noob at kayaking, yet i purchased one over the alternitive of a stick boat (used to own a Quintrex Trophy Hornet 455) - i think a much wiser choice hehe.

Anyway, enought from me for now... cheers again guys/girls

Regards,
Hilzy
