BRAND NEW 2020 MODEL. YOUR MOST TRUSTED EXPEDITION PARTNER
Key Features
-
The Expedition 1 sit-in sea kayak fits within in the speed/performance range of the Bay Sports family of touring kayaks.
-
At 17cm longer and 1cm narrower than its younger sibling the Expedition Zero, it is a faster and more streamlined design built for effortless glide, distance paddling and speed.
-
Larger, taller roomier cockpit makes it an ideal kayak for people up to 6'5" tall, or with long legs.
-
Comfort knee braces come pre-installed, for extra comfort and to alleviate pressure on your lower back.
-
The aqua-dynamic shape of this kayak is the basis for its speed and stability, and paired with our premium foot-controlled rudder system, it makes for easy manoeuvrability even with cross winds or stronger ocean currents.
-
With enough storage capacity for a day or two's worth of gear, this kayak is great for weekend getaways and exploring open bodies of water with ease.
Design & Construction
- Designed by renowned Swedish kayak designer Björn Thomasson, the V-shaped hull with hard chine and increased rocker, easily cuts through water effortlessly, whilst making for an excellent ocean going kayak.
- This also gives the the Expedition 1 excellent tracking properties (ability to paddle in a straight line).
- It's made with our signature 3-Layer foam core, sandwiched between high-grade UV stabilised HDPE, make this kayak lighter and stronger than regular polyethylene construction alone.
- The build quality is the best in class, with no traces of air bubbles inside the UV stabilised plastic walls, meaning your kayak is superior in durability and won't crack like brittle plastic kayaks prone to air bubbles, due to poor quality control.
- Every single Expedition kayak is tested to ensure 3.5mm thickness, drop tested to ensure perfect plastic bond, balance tested for optimal stability, and water tested to ensure perfect seals.

Product reviews
"I run a sea kayaking business in Melbourne so I was keen to purchase an Expedition 1 single kayak and try it out. I have had it for 4 months and so far so good. It has good speed, rudder controls are great (foot pedals are fixed but pivot to turn left and right). Storage is good for overnight but perhaps not huge space if you go for more than 3 days. I am 6 foot 3 so that is probably the max height or leg length for this kayak. Service is great."

Reviews
I baught it but for the first couple of uses the wind was strong and the waves were high. I found this kayak was easy to control and cut throu the waves realy well and the spray deck gave a good seal and stayed secure and in place, even when rolling the kayak. The deck does feel a little high but looking on the up side it gives plenty of room for my legs. There is plenty of storage room but it does let a little bit of water into the storage areas when rolling the kayak or paddling in ruff water. Over all for the price I think it really good value and the staff at bay sports have been great thanks
Excellent service. Great advice. The team listened to everything we said and came back with plenty of tips and info. The communication and notification was great. We are using our kayaks almost every weekend and doing 10 to 15 kms at a time. We are loving it. We bought 2 kayaks, trolleys, Paddles, skirts and roof racks. Everything is great quality and we have had no problems with anything. We highly recommend Bay Sports. Thanks team for great products and service.
Had the best experience with Hamish he was very helpful from start to end. Beautiful looking kayak, very high quality construction. Highly recommend 5 stars any day of the week. Thank you very much :)
Received exactly as described. Very good quality I must say. Nice finish and fittings of a high standard (I noticed stainless steel fittings fitted to the rudder system which I hadn’t expected). Well balanced and nice room to move in cockpit. Used in the bay with little chop, hoping to take out on the ocean this weekend. I recommend Bay Sports, thanks again.
