FAQs

Does the Kaafu come with a seat?

No, seats and paddles are sold separately to allow users to choose the equipment that best fits their comfort preferences.

Can I use this kayak in the ocean?

Yes, the Kaafu is suitable for coastal exploration, though it is primarily designed for calm waters and protected shorelines.

How do I secure my paddle to the kayak?

The kayak features integrated paddle holder bungees on the side, designed to hold your paddle securely when you are not using it.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

The Kaafu has a maximum capacity of 130kg, which includes the weight of the paddler and any gear brought on board.

Is the kayak easy to transport by one person?

Yes, at 20kg, it is lightweight enough for most adults to lift onto a car roof rack or carry to the water's edge comfortably.

How do I maintain the plastic hull?

Rinse with fresh water after use and store in a shaded area to prevent long-term UV degradation, although the material is UV-stabilised.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling on the deck

Ensure the scupper holes are completely clear of debris so water can drain freely.

Kayak feels unstable

Check that the load is balanced evenly from left to right and that you are sitting centrally in the designated cockpit area.

Drain plug leaking

Check the rubber O-ring on the drain plug for sand or debris and ensure it is threaded and tightened correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Kaafu involves installing your preferred seat and ensuring your paddle is sized correctly for a sit-on-top configuration. Because it is made of high-quality polyethylene, cleaning is straightforward: simply rinse the kayak with fresh water after every use, particularly if you have been in salt water, to prevent salt crystallization. For long-term care, store the kayak out of direct sunlight when not in use, or use a cockpit cover if stored outdoors. Always inspect the drain plug before heading out to ensure it is tightened properly and verify that the deck loops are free of debris to ensure your bungees function correctly.
