×
Why THIS kayak?
Lightweight – only 10.8kg
Full PVC with removable floor – easy to wipe dry
Very long inside – great for tall people wanting a lightweight option
Drop-stitch floor – gives you excellent rigidity for improved speed
Sit-on-top style – easy to get in and out of, no cockpit to tuck your legs into
Stable and easy to paddle for beginners, dogs, kids
Dual Fin System for Enhanced Tracking
Cool and comfy, supportive seat and foot brace
Quick and simple set-up – 7.5 mins
Thick, durable materials – lifetime warranty
Versatile – bung holes for self-bailing
Who is this kayak NOT for?
No good if you are “wide” – it’s very narrow, only 40cm hip-to-hip
If you are short, it’s still great to paddle, but you won’t reach the foot brace
If you are looking for an open ocean kayak that you can use with a spray skirt, check out the AdvancedFrame Elite Kayak instead
If you are doing whitewater above class 1, the StraitEdge kayak can do up to class 3 rapids
Expeditions – although it is capable of being loaded up with gear, you probably need a better performing kayak like the AdvancedFrame Elite or the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite if you are planning multi-day expeditions.

It’s not a rocket, but it’s satisfying to paddle.
The high-pressure drop-stitch floor (included) gives you excellent rigidity, so you glide through the water gracefully.
For a shortish kayak, the tracking is good.
The high-pressure drop-stitch floor plays a big part in this. The enhanced rigidity helps the kayak glide through the water smoothly.
The dual fin system improves the tracking substantially.
The wind affect is moderate on the Platte.
The waterline is not as long as our AdvancedFrame range, but the side tubes are not huge, and the dual fin system keeps it on track pretty well.
The seat (included) has very supportive straps.
The diamond design keeps you cool and the thick straps support your back.
The optional foot brace (included) adds to your comfort by supporting your lower back as you paddle.
The Kokopelli Platte kayak has very good back support – the seat back is high and stiff with adjustable straps to get the angle right.
Yes, if they are not massive.
The Kokopelli Platte kayak is not wide inside, but it is quite long and has an open sit-on-top style, so there might be enough space for both of you, depending on the size of the dog (and you).
The drop-stitch floor inside the kayak is super tough, you do not need any reinforcement.
The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you won’t all go over board if your dog gets excited and makes a sudden move (not that they ever do that …).
Yes.
The wide flat hull means the kayak is very stable so you can focus on fishing and relaxing.
The 1000d PVC material is extremely durable, give you the confidence that neither fish nor fishing gear will cause a puncture.
There is a fabric rod holder behind the seat, but if you are doing to be fishing regularly, I recommend the accessory frame it allows you to attach high-quality rod holders, an EPERB, a fish finder, go-pro etc.
Optional kayak anchor if the fish are biting and you want to stay where you are.
You can even put on a propeller – the ePropulsion Vaquita.
Yes.
The Kokopelli Platte kayak is good for taking kids, as long as they are still small.
It’s super-stable, so the kids can have a nap and muck around without tipping it over.

**Caution – do not leave the kayak inflated on the deck of the boat. The heat will cause the 1pressure to rise and you could damage the kayak.
NOTE – The Kokopelli Platte kayak is NOT recommended for open ocean.
It’s good for a few hours.
Longer than that, and you need a better performing kayak, like the AirFusion EVO Kayak.

Yes, very!
The Kokopelli Platte kayak is an open deck sit-on-top style. You can basically fall in and out of this kayak, there is no cockpit.
Probably – we haven’t tested it with somebody really tall yet, but it is VERY long internally and you can adjust the seat straps to bring the seat closer to the front of the kayak, or further back in the cockpit to give you more leg room.
Be careful with the width, though – the Kokopelli Platte is only 40cm across on the inside and would be too narrow for a lot of people.
The maximum capacity is 150kgs according to the manufacturer.
We haven’t yet tested this kayak on the higher weight ranges, but I don’t think it will be a practical option for large paddlers because it is simply too narrow inside (only 40cm from hip to hip when sitting).

The weight of everything, including paddle, pump and bag is 17kg.
At 10.8 kg (14 kg with the included accessories), the Kokopelli Platte Kayak is lightweight compared to a hard-shell kayak, but not our lightest kayak.

The Kokopelli Platte kayak is very stable.

There is no rudder on the Kokopelli Platte kayak.

Above expectations
These kayaks are simple to set up, sturdy, track straight and very easy to paddle along. I could not be happier with our choice and the great advice given prior to our purchase. I would highly recommend the kayak and the whole purchase experience.

Advancedframe Expedition Elite Kayak
The Advancedframe Expedition Elite Kayak is extremely well thought out and put together. Every aspect seems to have been catered for. My first experience on the water in the Expedition Elite was very memoriable and 6 hours of paddling seemed to pass in the blink of an eye... If storage and transport is a problem for you I would highly recommend the Advanceframe Expedition Elite Kayak and would highly recommend purchasing from oz inflatable kayaks as Emily was wonderful to deal with and was very knowledgeable and answered every question I threw at her and the service was second to none.
Lachlan A.
Super slick design and a pleasure to use
This kayak is an excellent design and makes kayaking very accessible for a newbie like me; it's beautiful to use on the water - super stable and comfortable to paddle - and easy to inflate once you know the process. It opens up a whole new range of activities for my camping holidays with kids and friends and can be packed into a boot or trailer as a foldable inflatable product... I could also easily fit my 13 yo and 10 yo into the kayak with me and enjoy it as a family...
