Wavedance Kingfisher

Ok due to the new budget restrictions, I'm looking at a slightly cheaper model. At about $899 new, I could almost have some cash left over for a better paddle/seat and even a sounder. Still, I'd like to get a fully rigged one second hand if possible. The only downside to his I can see is that it isn't going to be great in rougher conditions (Maybe eliminating the ability to target snapper or even squid), but it seems to be the cheapest 4m+ kayak on the market.


The Kingfisher combines the advantages of a sit-on-top with the efficiency of a traditional sea kayak the new single can be used in flat water, moderate ocean conditions and slow flowing rivers.

Designed to take you and your gear efficiently to where you want to go, the new single has two large hatches and a large cargo well allowing easy access to your fishing tackle, dive and other gear.

The Kingfisher is available with or without a rudder.

• Three storage hatches.
• Two large strapped hatches front and rear.
• Central personal hatch (bag-lined).

• Scupper holes positioned away from seat.

• Equipment securing points.
• Carry handles (bow and stern).
• Threaded drain plug.
• Stabilising ‘shoulders’.
