Dave - yes, I have one. I have an older version of what is now the Fjord Explorer, but tend to use it 'unrigged' with a standard kayak style paddle. The forums at alpacka are a good source of info and there are some aussie rafters there, some of them I know.

If you are ever in the gong and want a look, let me know, be happy to show you mine. Steve from Bega is organising a rafters get together on the Eucumbene soon, and then the Tuross - I reckon if you wanted to swing by you could, be a good chance to see a few different models, nice bunch of folks, nice area.

I got mine mainly for flyfishing remote waters, as did a few of the south coast guys but they are gettting into the whitewater side of it much more as the boats are a great way to link walks and paddling.

They are as tough as f---. You really can't fathom it until you get in one. So far from a pool toy.
