INCLUDED EQUIPMENT
Paddle
The paddle that comes with the NextGen 11.5 fishing kayak package is
a lightweight 2 piece paddle. It is extendable up to 2.5 metres and
can be feathered depending on your preference. The paddle has the
feature that it floats when joined together.
Paddle leash
The stretchy red cord that comes with the NextGen 11.5 is a useful
tool to keep the paddle attached to the kayak so in the event, you or a young
family member kicks the paddle overboard you will not have it floats away.
Vantage Aluminium Seat
The Aluminium Vantage seat provides a comfortable,
padded ride. The breathable mesh fabric dries quickly,
keeping you and your seat dry!
Scupper plugs
The drainage holes in the kayak are also known as scupper holes.
The purpose of these holes is to add rigidity to the kayak's hull and to
also allow water to drain from the hull of the kayak. The black plugs that
come with the NextGen 11.5 fishing kayak are the plugs for these holes.
They are not required to be in for operation but are recommended by
Kayaks2fish to be kept in while out on the water as not having them in
can reduce the weight capacity of the kayak.
A water-resistant hatch
Featured on the NextGen 11.5 fishing kayak is 2x water-resistant hatches.
While only water-resistant they will handle the normal splashing
that would occur when out on the water.
