Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140 Kayak 

The Tsunami series of kayaks are our favorite transitional touring kayaks. They glide amazingly well but keep the rugged durability of the traditional polyethylene material. The cockpits are roomy, but allow the paddler to secure themselves when it's necessary to bear down and paddle hard. We also appreciate the fact the Wildy donates a percentage of all sales to Americares' disaster relief, supporting the relief and rebuilding of areas affected by water related natural disasters.

Review:	I bought this kayak for a 7 day 100+ mile trip down the Buffalo River Arkansas in January. I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs, and the kayak fit me perfectly. I didn't get the rudder, and was glad as it did a great job of tracking straight. There was plenty of space in the boat for me and my gear. The bow had enough room for a weeks worth of food, a spare paddle, and fishing gear. The rear hatch had my tent, sleeping bag, air matress, clothes, and kitchen items. I bought a deck bag for the camera gear and little stuff. The seat was amazingly comfortable. Due to winter, I wore a wetsuit, and was plenty warm. The boat handled great in the mild white water, and could get up to some pretty decent speeds with not too much effort. The staff at the Houston ACK was amazing. They spend a great deal of time with me making sure I had the right gear and that everything fit properly before the trip. The only reason for the 4/5 stars, is that the height adjustable seat broke on the second day. It didn't affect the trip, but that seems like a weak design. I'm going to take the boat in this weekend to get it fixed.

Review:	Being relatively novice/intermediate kayakers, we were looking for 14 - 15 foot models that would provide a good balance of initial and secondary stability, comfort, and good cargo capacity for our frequent camping trips. We purchased the 140 for my wife and the 145 model for me. The cockpit of the 140 is a great fit for my wife, especially after installing the Harmony hip pads which provide a customized fit and offer better control.The Phase3 system is very adjustable and comfortable. I may even replace the high back seat with a backband for easier rescues and rolling scenarios. We also had the rudders installed by Austin and these have come in handy in rough conditions and helps keep my wife happy on longer paddles! A great choice for most of the paddling we do (rivers, inland lakes, and protected Great lakes areas). These models track very well (even without the rudder) and are reasonably manueverable. A great choice for the novice and intermediate paddler. We almost bought rec boats (Pungo 140, etc) but were glad we went with these light touring boats for their greater versatility and safety features (two bulkheads, perimeter lines, etc). Austin has the best price on these models and provides fast and low cost shipping. See Kate with any questions or issues and you cannot go wrong!

Review:	The Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140 Kayak is great. I'm 6'2 200# and it goes good I just wish I bought a longer one. I think this is going to be given to my girlfriend because I just bought a Hurricane Tracer 165.

Review:	Oops, forgot to mention, I am 6'1", about 180 lbs, and this boat fits me perfectly - cockpit is roomy and fairly easy for an old guy to get in and out of, without needing a tent-sized spray skirt. I added a pair of hip pads to fit a little tighter for more control, but other than that it's a great fit for my size.
