The "UNLIMITED" is the World's First kayak equipped with wheels! Getting to, in and out of the water without assistance, is the key. Having motorised wheels would make the job much easier. Quad inflatable sponsons are used for safety and durability. Seats are individually cast to the paddlers profile and a breathable top deck provides additional comfort. Aeronautical quality composites keep the weight to a minimum.
This is no ordinary kayak, but neither are the paddlers!
This project is no longer a dream! In August 2009, The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust recognised and acknowledged the potential and merits of the design, by awarding Andre a prestigious fellowship.
Fellowships are granted to "the best and brightest Australians in their chosen field."
Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO, Governor of NSW, presented the awards at a ceremony at Government House.
It was an honour for Andre to receive this award.
He will feel equally honoured once the prototype turns into a reality!
The next stage is crucial. We aim to have a full sized (non motorised) prototype within 12 months.
We understand that the current financial times are difficult... but then again, we wonder what Warren McDonald would classify as difficult?
What we need now is a MAJOR SPONSOR - a partner who shares our vision.
Come on! Be the first to support a World First!
With $50K we can make it happen.!

The "UNLIMITED" concept design was very well received during the 2010 KanuMesse/Germany. This is the largest water sports trade show in Europe. There was no shortage of funds available for such a kayak, providing that it had already been made...

Still not giving up on finding a major sponsor/sponsors. Quite the opposite! By desiging and producing the newly launched HYBRiD 550, my credentials, passion and determination is clear. www.hybridkayaksaustralia.com
