Episode 11 - The Bass Berserkers - Zero to Bass Strait in Six Months

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 • Duration 01:37:32

The tale of Joe, Trev, Ollie, Simon and Jacqui, and their goal of paddling Bass Strait within six months of their first paddle strokes.
Bass Strait engenders images of mountainous seas, wild westerlies and the islands they ravage, and the idea of four novice sea kayakers taking on the 330km journey does seem unlikely at best.
However you should never underestimate the power of good plan, targeted training and a fair old helping of 'gravel in ya guts'.
Enjoy the story of the Bass Berserkers!

Bob Turner started paddling in 2007, and very quickly decided a worthy goal would be to paddle across Bass Strait, on its day one of the most daunting stretches of water in the world.
It took him eleven years to fulfil the promise, but the paddling journey to get there was as diverse and interesting as the expedition that capped it all off.

There's even a review of some craft beers that were consumed to lubricate the conversation...!

Episode 7 - Introducing Our New Fast Sea Kayak, the Audax Azure

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 • Duration 24:14

A short tale of the development and launch of new lower volume sea kayak, the Audax Azure.

As soon as the Audax was launched and won instant approval from our kayaking peers, we began work on a lower volume version to cater to paddlers in the lighter weight ranges, to provide a well trimmed kayak more suited to their weight.

We had to try to maintain the Audax' mix of speed and stability, whilst designing hull features that provide a more satisfying ride for paddlers who often find themselves more exposed to the wind.

The result is a sea kayak with potential for racing and fitness paddling, with a carrying capacity up to 120kg for extended multi day or multi week expeditions. It's made in Australia, designed and fitted out by Rob Mercer, and completely customisable to your colours and preferences.
