The Barra

Perfect for people new to kayaking, Made in Australia

The Barra is a kayak perfect for people new to kayaking!!

It is extra wide giving great stability, whilst the inclusion of reocker makes it easy to turn. An integrated keel helps novice paddlers keep the Barra on a straight course and the extra large cockpit allows for a safe "wet exit" in the unlikely event of a capsize… Great peace of mind when children are using it!

The Barra is suitable for use by larger adults (130+kg) and smaller children (from 6 years old), and is great for hire fleets where maximum time on the water and minimum maintenance are of utmost importance.

The seat is super comfortable so taht you can paddle (and fish) for hours and the backrest folds forward to access storage space behind the seat… Perfect for a day or overnight trip.

The Barra is available as a kayak only, upgraded with a 3 litre Australis storage pod, in an Australis Fishing Package, or customise your own fishing kayak.

The Barra is fast becoming Australias new favourite kayak, as it has all the great features of our market leading Bass, but it is even easier to use.
