Watersports

With an almost limitless number of creeks, rivers, oceans and lakes to be discovered, kayaking has become a very popular watersport in Australia. These pristine waterways have opened the market for several different types of kayaks depending on how you want to spend your day floating about. At BCF, our kayaks range includes recreational kayaks, fishing kayaks, inflatable kayaks and tandem kayaks all available in sit-in or sit-on configurations.

While fishing kayaks tend to look like your regular recreational kayak, they are designed with a few extra features to help you with your catch. Usually shorter and wider than others, fishing kayaks are tailored to meet the needs of beginner and experienced anglers alike with storage space for bait, spare lines, caught fish and maybe even a few cheeky bevvies. Additional features include in-built rod holders and mounts for electronics like your fish finder.

Suitable for children and adults, with a wider hull design that provides more stability, sit-on-top kayaks have been deemed the best kayak for a beginner. Sit-on-top kayaks can be used for fishing, touring, recreation and more, making them a versatile kayak loved among not only beginners, but water sport enthusiasts as well. These kayaks are also favoured among taller people as they are less confining. Another advantage is being able to self-rescue, which is a big benefit for beginners. As it is an open and rather flat surface, there's less risk of being trapped if it tips and much easier to get back on top from the water. Our kid’s kayaks are also available in a sit-on-top configuration.

Fun for the whole family, outboard motor towing with ski tubes can ensure up to three people can be towed behind the boat at any one time. Stocking well-respected brands like Tahwalhi and Quiksilver, BCF’s range of inflatable tow tubes ensures that you can relax as you float through the water or enjoy exhilaration and speed when paired with a tow rope.

If you’re using towable tubes, it’s best to be equipped with a life jacket and possibly even a wetsuit.
