Wilderness Systems Tarpon 140 Kayak with Rudder Sit On Top

Thanks to its girthy constitution and innate gliding capabilities, the Wilderness Systems Sit On Top Tarpon 140 Kayak with Rudder is designed to navigate open waters when the winds kick up and things go from tranquil to turbulent. To say the least, this sleek sweetheart of a boat tours with the grace of royalty and the longevity of a '60s rock band, starting with its long lines, a fore and aft keel, and a drop down rudder elevate steering to German sports car level that even newbies can appreciate. Built with the same profile as the Tarpon 100 Sit On Top, this multi chined, multi purpose boat slides through still water and bounces through chop with ease. First timers won't be walking funny after their initial outing since the Phase 3 AirPro seat ensures a happy tush and back. Leg lifters minimize undue pressure on your tailbone, and enhanced airflow prevents your back from drowning in sweat. And whether you're short or tall, the Keepers footbraces adjust, so your feet always have an appropriate place to rest. If you're digging in for an all day fight with the granddaddy fish in the lake, you might as well be comfortable. Now, for the fun part. So, when those persnickety, gale force winds blow or the current threatens to take you away, it's probably safe to say that you can drop the BTS rudder. Pro paddlers won't mind a bit of correction when a fast moving squall threatens the day, and neophyte kayakers get a massive dose of steering confidence. Last but not least, the storage galore makes this kayak king for week long paddles. Orbix hatch covers protect bow and midship storage. Bungees secure dry bags and coolers in the stern tank well.
