New Ocean Kayak ultra 4.3/ The guys in NZ at it again

ThAT 4.3 LOOKS AND SOUNDS SWEET! By the sounds of it, it should have way better reviews than the 4.7 which i heard paddles and tracks like shit! Cant wait to see one these bad boys in person!

Where did you hear this info on the 4.7 from? All the reports I have heard is that it paddles well for a somewhat experienced ocean paddler and it tracks well. How could it not with a rudder? Even faster than the T-15. I hope to get mine OTW soon as to verify the positive things I have heard. It will be at MBK on the 25th for anyone to paddle if they want.

27KG huh? Hmmmmmmm...that's worth a look. Most of the new yaks are in the 70+lb range.

the lighter the yak the more me like.

Per Ocean - these will be available in the USA October 2011.

I like the design.  Anybody know what the price tag will be?

I saw the one they have at MBK a few weeks back. I think it was the larger version. Anyway, one thing that jumped out at me was the very nice flush mount rod holders. They looked much stronger than what is normally seen in the US, even in the aftermarket.

14'11" and 62lbs sounds pretty sweet to me, and I just may be "in the market, as it were" by the time these show up here.
Interested to know the $$
