In answer to a comment: The best canoe shop undoubtedly is ‘Capacity Sports’ in Bay Rd near Westfield Southland. No-one locally has much. There are many to chose from, but also many that are not very good. I think you should borrow a couple of ours first (we have a variety). No-one much has improved on the design of Perception’s ‘Minnow’. I am VERY enthusiastic about this (https://www.alpackaraft.com/index.cfm/store.catalog?CategoryID=53&ProductID=66 Note the new ‘Cargo Fly’)
Perception Minnow:
They now have a shop in Cochranes Rd Moorabin, Great friendly service and you can haggle a good price from them.
Great. Say ‘Hello’ from me.
