Wilderness Systems TEMPEST 165: a sea kayak for experienced paddlers<\/h2>\n

The TEMPEST 165 is a serious sea kayak: 503 cm long, 55 cm wide and only 25 kg. It is among the lighter polyethylene sea kayaks. The narrow profile and hard chine hull shape give high speed and a precise response to paddling technique. It is a kayak for paddlers who already know how to paddle and want to refine their technique.<\/p>\n

The TEMPEST differs fundamentally from the TSUNAMI: it is not a touring kayak with a sea label. It is a true sea kayak with a smaller cockpit, a lower deck line and a more aggressive hull profile. The smaller cockpit means better protection from water and a closer connection to the kayak through your legs and hips.<\/p>\n

Key features<\/h3>\n

\u2714 503 cm x 55 cm sea hull<\/strong> Narrow, fast and precisely responsive. The hard chine design gives clear edging positions and predictable behaviour in waves.<\/p>\n

\u2714 25 kg weight<\/strong> One of the lighter polyethylene sea kayaks. Easy to transport and carry to the water.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Integrated skeg<\/strong> A drop down skeg helps you hold your direction in crosswinds. Unlike a rudder, a skeg does not get in the way of learning proper paddling technique.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Phase 3 AirPro s\u0117dyn\u0117<\/strong> Adjustable even in a small sea cockpit. Pneumatic lumbar support for long trips.<\/p>\n

\u2714 136 kg keliamoji galia<\/strong> Optimised for lighter paddlers. The kayak performs best when it is properly loaded.<\/p>\n

\u2714 Water resistant hatches<\/strong> Front and rear hatches for expedition luggage. Deck mesh pockets for items you need to reach quickly.<\/p>\n

TEMPEST ar TSUNAMI?<\/h3>\n

The TSUNAMI is stable and forgiving, a great first touring kayak. The TEMPEST is faster and more precise, but demands better technique. If you are already comfortable paddling the TSUNAMI and want to progress, the TEMPEST is the next step.<\/p>\n

Who it's for<\/h3>\n

For experienced paddlers (155\u2013180 cm, 55\u201380 kg) who want a fast, precise sea kayak. Coastal routes, islands, surf zones, multi day expeditions. Ideal for those preparing for sea paddling or already practising it.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
