Recent Sea Eagle Customer Experience – SE330 Pro

Kayaking in mizzly, drizzly weather is fine too. Just add a rainproof jacket. We will progressively challenge ourselves, from dams/lakes, to rivers and ultimately to the sea. We found we had to put one puff on air into the seat bottoms and six into the seat backs. This lowers one’s centre of gravity, making the vessel more buoyant, hence safter. We quickly found out too that it really needs only one paddler, the person at the rear, when navigating a dam or lake at least. It’s too short a kayak to comfortably accommodate two paddlers in our opinion. We got tangled up, with my (front) oar creating a drag, when side on into the wind and causing us to capsize. The Deluxe seats are the only way to go!! Sooooo comfortable. We loved being able to pop one seat out, move the remaining one up a bit, then set off alone for a solo paddle. It’s a great size for a solo expedition, with room then for a fishing rod, camping gear, etc..We are six foot, and five and half foot respectively and the 330 SE is fine for us, but would be better still for shorter, slighter built persons. We think the craft is well made and designed and of sturdy quality, giving a great kayaking experience, but where it really triumphs is that we can pack it into our little Toyota Echo’s boot (sedan) and take off on a whim, for a very inexpensive little adventure. A middle-aged woman could handle this alone, packing, carrying and rolling up again, no worries. By the way, the oars are “oarsome”, being beautifully designed and lightweight. The world is a different place from out on the water, where there is always a breeze and a new view every few seconds. It’s nice to think that little adventures are entirely possible, even in one’s fifties and no longer athletic (speaking for myself only). Being nature buffs, we are thrilled to be able to enjoy aquatic life in all its diversity and still be able to bring home a fish. K-Mart sells a little, retractable fishing rod, with all the accoutrements, for just $33 and we aim to become proficient in its use 🙂
Do publish the above if you wish, with our compliments and appreciation for a great product.
