Surf Skis

What is a surf ski?

Surf Skis, also known as wave skis, are a popular water activity for the young and old. A low-impact activity, paddling surf skis has excellent health benefits including cardiovascular fitness, core muscle strengthening, great upper body conditioning for arms, back and shoulders, and also great for mental health and clearing of the mind.

A surf ski is a type of kayak that is designed specifically for cutting through waves and rough swell. Skis designed for the open ocean are long and narrow, while surf skis for catching waves are shorter, featuring loads of rocker to help them get over waves and handle chop better. Using a surf ski safely requires good knowledge of waves and surf conditions. Make sure to keep these things in mind when choosing a surf ski.

How to paddle on a surf ski?

Paddling on a surf ski is the same motion as paddling a regular kayak. The only difference is that surf skis can often be a little less stable, requiring greater balance and some degree of core strength to keep them upright. Taking a ski out in surf requires a good knowledge of waves and surf conditions– keep this in mind before heading out.

How to carry a surf ski?

Carrying a surf ski is easiest with two people but can be done by one person also. All our surf skis feature solid handles that allow you to carry your surf ski by your waist.  If you’re on the sand, dragging the surf ski by the nose is fine. Check out our kayak trolleys to make transport a breeze. 

How to clean and store a surf ski?

To clean a surf ski just give it a spray down with fresh water. If there’s some muck stuck on, a non-abrasive towel or cloth and some soapy water should do the trick. Avoid coarse fabrics and rough sponges to keep your surf ski scratch-free.

"My experience with bay sports has been awesome"

From the minute I purchased my 2 person Kayak online I was contacted by staff, letting me know that my order was being processed. I was then contacted again in regards to upgrading some components which was fantastic!

Bay Sports assisted when delivery details were not so clear and all was sorted with no fuss, no bother. My Kayak arrived in Bendigo Vic from Sydney within 4 days........perfect timing for me to take away on our family holiday to the river!

Thanks Bay Sports, I highly recommend your product and service.

"STAND-OUT AUSTRALIAN KAYAK SALES SITE"

"Bay Sports' website is the stand-out Australian kayak sales site. There's plenty of info on all the products, the purchasing processes are straightforward and post-order communication was excellent.

Once my order was placed, it was quickly confirmed and a time-frame for delivery given. Delivery was also fast and with easy to use tracking.
All-in-all, a great purchase!"

"THE STRINGENT TESTING OF THE PRODUCT WAS PARAMOUNT"

"I recently purchased a 4.5m Dreamer Touring Kayak from Bay Kayaks and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I researched several suppliers and I found that the stringent testing of the product was paramount with Bay Sports. 

To top it off, what an unbelievable price which was way under their competitors. I live in Brisbane and it was shipped to me unmarked due to the professional packing used.

Thanks Guys, will recommend you anytime."
