![]() Manjimup is situated in the southwest corner of Oz, about 300km from Perth. I fish freshwater (closest about 20mins) and in the Southern Ocean ( about an hour away). If I am lucky I get out once a week and try and alternate fresh/salt. My Dolfinn is a waveski type of craft - a bit slow but my old Minnkota helps. My son has his first snagasaurus in the 2nd pic ![]() Cheers Mike ![]()

Greetings and welcome to our forums
![]() ![]() I had a guy from South Africa send us some photos of his serf-ski that they use there. I have never seen one in person, but they look very fast and capable to handle surf launches and exits as well as the paddler is able. I think one company has them here is the country, but I haven't seen one yet at any of the gatherings or tournaments. It's too bad also, there may be a good market for them here. A few of the touring kayak companies are making fiberglass Sit-On-Top kayaks now, so a good suf-ski might go. I'll check out your town on Google Earth and see what is around there. It's pretty handy for snooping around. Thanks for stopping bye and saying Hello ![]() Perry

G'day Perry,
thanx 4 the welcome. In the fresh I can chase trout and redfin (aka English Perch). In the salt I so far I have caught Australian Salmon, Flathead, Herring & Skipjack Trevally. You can see my catch and other things on - Manjimike - Photo Albums You can also see my anchor trolley etc and the two pics above and I will gradually add more pics to it. My waveski is not a very fast craft, but I enjoy what I can do on it and don't worry too much about the things I can't do ![]() At a later date I intend building a plywood SOT yak and fit the Hobie Mirage drive to it. Anyway Cheers ![]()
