Wilderness Systems TSUNAMI 140

Wilderness Systems TSUNAMI 140 with rudder, precise control on open water

The TSUNAMI 140 with rudder is the same reliable 427 cm touring kayak with an integrated rudder system added. The foot-controlled rudder lets you hold your course in crosswinds and currents without constant corrective strokes. It is not a luxury option but a practical tool for anyone who regularly paddles on open water.

The rudder system lifts with one movement when not needed: on a calm lake or a narrow river you can raise it and paddle like a regular kayak. With the rudder down, your feet control direction and your arms can put all their energy into speed.

With or without a rudder?

The TSUNAMI 140 without a rudder does great on calm water. But if your routes include open lakes, the sea coast or river mouths, a rudder saves energy and reduces fatigue. Instead of constant corrective strokes, you just press with your foot and carry on.
