Painless Kayak Fishing Down Under - in Australia.
Finally, Australians can purchase the back pain free fishing kayak locally, from Aussie Kayaks, a new company that distributes these unique fishing kayaks in Australia.
The founder of Aussie kayaks suffered from kayaking back injuries, which brought him to look for a solution, as told on his website:
-"Steve has a love for water and paddling but after experiencing 2 months of pain and subsequent treatment as a direct result of using a S.O.T Sit On Top) Kayak, Steve thought there must be a better way. After spending many hours researching different options, Steve was convinced with out doubt that the Wavewalk was the way to go. Steve purchased a Wavewalk direct from the US in December of 2011 and has not looked back since. NO more PAIN or INJURIES."
Good new for the lower back down under!

Kayak Fly Fishing At 70 Years Old, With Back Pain, Knee Problems, And Balanace Problems...
Here's a testimonial from an experienced kayak fisherman from Texas, who's been fishing out of conventional fishing kayaks, until he couldn't go on:
I have been fly fishing around the world for 20 years, much of it in a kayak.
I found only two things were missing: a comfortable seating position and the ability to stand up for sighting fish.
After studying videos at Wavewalk, I ordered an inventory of Wavewalk kayaks without even seeing one.
Upon receipt I tested the Wavewalk… -I am 70 years old, weigh 230, have a bad back, need a knee replacement, and have constant vertigo from a chronic ear condition.
During my initial test I was able to stand up and paddle and really enjoyed the seating position called Riding.
IF I CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN!!
The Wavewalk 500 is fast and runs straight.
Everything you read is correct.

Painless Motorized Kayak Fishing
Big motorboats are more comfortable than fishing kayaks, and they offer the advantage of making much longer fishing trips. But they're also more expensive to buy and maintain, store and transport, and let's not forget that using a boat trailer is a pain in itself, not just in the figurative sense, but practically as well - Having to deal with launching a big boat from a trailer and a boat ramp, and getting the boat back on the trailer at the end of the day is neither for elderly anglers nor for anyone suffering from back problems.
So if neither kayaks nor big motorboats are good for you, how can you go fishing from a kayak and still be dry, comfortable and healthy, while maintaining a range of traveling that only motorboats can offer, but without the hassle and pain associated with motorboats??
Thinking about such a possibility sounds like an exercise in futility, until you see movies such as this one, shot by a kayak angler suffering from disabilities including back pain and sciatica:
and this one:
This is the same W kayak, which is the only fishing kayak offering NO BACK PAIN, plus a powerful outboard motor that gets you to the fish on the other side of the lake, or miles up the river, fast and effortlessly...
For those who are interested in reading more, here is an article about motorizing your fishing kayak - It explains the pros and cons of motorized kayaks, electric motors vs. outboard gas engines, etc.

Senior Kayak Fisherman With Back Surgery and Balance Problems Finds The Solution
Tony, from New Hampshire, offers this testimonial:
-"The Wavewalk 500 is great. It only took a minimum amount of time of actual paddling to get used to the kayak.
The weather is still bad but I am planning to get out next week and see if I can catch a fish.
My daughter Lisa and I have spent many hours fishing out of the kayaks on the weekends but I have not slimed the 500 yet. Today we had to quit because our hands got so cold.
The 500 is very stable and easy to control. The stability is very important as I had a major surgery on my back last year and somehow it messed up my balance.
Wavewalk have designed a great craft. Thanks to you I can enjoy fishing again."
