What are the different types of kayaks?

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 beers. Additional features include in-built rod holders and mounts for electronics like your fishfinder.

What is the best kayak for a beginner?

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, a big benefit for beginners. As it is an open and rather flat surface, there is less risk of being trapped if it tips and it is much easier to get back on top from the water. Our kid’s kayaks are also available in a sit-on-top configuration.

What boat tow tubes does BCF sell?

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 Wow, 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 that can hold over 600kgs.

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

Does BCF sell pool and beach toys?

Yes, we have a range of beach and pool toys available online and in store at BCF. From inflatable swim rings to a beach cricket set, we’ve got something to transform your waterside play into an afternoon and activities that’ll tucker the whole family out. Grab your beach bool or a bucket and spade, but don’t forget to slip, slop, slap that sunscreen on before you spend a day in the sun!

Do BCF stock SUPs & boogie boards?

BCF has a range of alternative surfing gear including stand up paddle boards, body boards and knee boards. A great introduction to catching waves, body boards (or boogie boards) are a slightly smaller version of the surfboard, designed for laying on as opposed to standing. In a similar sense, kneeboards are designed for kneeling on and make a great starting board for the family or can be used as a stunt and performance board.

Stand up paddle boards, on the other hand, were originally designed for surfing purposes and have since become a popular board for cruises through calm waters to discover areas boats simply can’t reach and better sightseeing advantages than your recreational kayak.
