Well AKFF’ers, it’s your lucky day
VIKING KAYAKS, one of Australias’ most well known kayak manufacturers, have just released their eagerly anticipated new yak design, the PROFISH. This new 4.3 metre long, 77cm wide, 28kg kayak is loaded with features that even the most hard-core kayak fishermen will love. The hull shape and Tempo-style rudder system ensures a quick, stable and smooth paddle through most conditions, and the cockpit design has been developed with the fisherman in mind. The new 30 litre centre well has many uses including esky, live bait storage, tackle box or fish keeper and the fishfinder hatch is also a unique feature of the Profish. With prices starting at around $1595, this kayak represents cutting edge design at an affordable price. Check out www.vikingkayak.com.au for more details on Viking kayak models. Info on the Profish should be up on their website very soon, however in the meantime here are some early photos to whet your appetite.
AKFF/Win a Profish Competition.
In conjunction with VIKING KAYAKS, the Australian Kayak Fishing Forum (AKFF) has one VIKING PROFISH kayak (including paddle, standard rudder, seat and delivery to nearest capital city) to give away. This prize is valued at nearly $2000 and is GOING TO BE WON by one lucky AKFF’er.
To be in with a chance to win this great prize, you’ll firstly need to register your details and you’ll receive a special Viking Profish competition number. You’ll then need to enter the monthly fishing competition, and catch a legal fish which will need to be photographed alongside your special Viking Profish competition number. As a condition of entry you also MUST have your kayak showing in the photo. If you do that, you’ll be automatically entered into the draw.
The competition will run throughout the months of March, April and May, so if you enter a photo showing your rego number in all 3 months, then you’ll get 3 entries. Enter just once and you’ll get one entry. At the end of the comp period (after May comp) we will draw a random winner from all entries received. It’s a simple as that!
So, if you’d like to be in with a chance to win, heres what you now need to do.

I’d like to thank Alex / Viking Kayaks for getting on board with this exciting new AKFF initiative and providing such a great prize. AKFF is growing rapidly, and it’s great that the kayak manufacturers are getting behind the forum to provide such great support. I’d also like to wish good luck to all entrants!
Note... The AKFF Moderators will not be eligible to enter this comp /win this prize. We’re taking one for the team again....
