Surge Drummer Ski

Named after Perth’s iconic Drummers down wind run this is a great ski that does it all, made from plastic it comes with an underslung rudder but is also able to be fitted with a trailing rudder making it suitable for use in shallower water like the Avon Decent. Switching between the two rudders (after initial installation) is only a matter of a minute or two so you have a versatile craft. See pictures of the underslung rudder assembly

Made from a triple Layer plastic makes a stiffer and lighter strong plastic kayak. Known by various names this is made all in part from the same material with the the middle layer being aerated/foamed slightly. This increases the thickness of the plastic making much stiffer than a thinner plastic kayak of the same weight. The difference in stiffness is immediately noticeable with the lack of deflection or flex on the deck and hull of these skis.

Large Rear Oval hatch will hold gear or spare paddle, great for the Avon Descent to carry emergency kit without the risk of it being ripped off in the trees or rapids, but also handy for holding gear for a weekend trip camping or day trip to rotto. When combined with the front hatch you have ample space for camping gear etc.
