Inflating the Advanced Frame Inflatable Kayak

Beautiful Port Stephens is the perfect setting to see how quickly I inflate the Advanced Frame Inflatable Kayak:

 

Paddling on the Advanced Frame Inflatable Kayak at Budds Beach on the Gold Coast

The best thing about kayaking on the Gold Coast, is being able to have brunch at the cafe at Budds Beach whilst waiting for the tide to turn. We just pulled our inflatable kayaks up the beach and let them sit there as we relaxed at the cafe across the road.

Paddling in the Advanced Frame Inflatable Kayak - Cascade Gardens to Mermaid Waters on the Gold Coast, Australia

Did a MAMMOTH kayak on the Advanced Frame inflatable Kayak from Cascade Gardens in Surfers Paradise to Lake Wonderland at Mermaid Waters and back.  We went south past Pacific Fair, and came back via Lake Intrepid, past the Broadbeach library.

We launched our inflatable kayaks at the perilous Cascade Gardens unofficial boat ramp.  Although the launch is scary with oysters on rocks, it is such a beautiful spot with all the tall trees hanging over the river - a lovely area to just float.

Coming around the corner, the buildings at Broadbeach came into view - what a beautiful day!

We were soon kayaking past Pacific Fair.  The water was still glassy calm.

Then onwards, under the bridge into Broadbeach Waters.

Saw this huge black swan in amongst the houses in the canal... somewhat unexpected!

It was wonderful to kayak into Lake Wonderland and see the mountain backdrop.

We stopped for a little swim at a beautiful sandy park beach near Rumrunner lake.  THe Advanced Frame inflatable kayak looks glorious laying on the sand.

On the way back, we went past Jupiters casino.

And then, as always, past the Cascade Gardens bat colony.  It was a wonderful day out on the inflatable kayaks.
