One of the sea kayaks produced by Q-kayaks is the Penguin. Also available 
in NZ are inflatable penguins so it is not unusual to see a penguin in a 
Penguin in a shop. Max (the designer) was at one sea kayak forum with the 
inflated penguin on the aft deck of his kayak. They are not fairy / little 
blue penguins we comonly paddle with but the larger emperor(?) penguin. 
(Might even remember to check exactly which breed they are). The 
inflatables would be at least 3 foot high.
