Wilderness Systems TSUNAMI 145

Wilderness Systems TSUNAMI 145 with rudder, a touring kayak for bigger paddlers on open water

The TSUNAMI 145 with rudder combines a wider 442 cm x 65 cm hull with an integrated rudder system. It's the answer for bigger paddlers who regularly paddle open water: lakes, sea coasts or wider rivers. The rudder compensates for crosswinds and lets you put all your energy into speed.

The hull is wider than the TSUNAMI 140, which gives extra stability, and the rudder makes sure the wider kayak responds precisely. The combination is especially useful on longer trips, where fatigue reduces the effectiveness of corrective paddling.
