The Wilderness Systems Tsunami: Stability, Comfort & Versatility

The Wilderness Systems Tsunami: Stability, Comfort & Versatility

Looking for a kayak that performs in lakes, rivers, bays—even open ocean—and still delivers comfort and stability? The Wilderness Systems Tsunami is your ticket to adventure.

What Makes the Tsunami So Versatile?

1. Effortless Stability & Tracking
Thanks to its multi-chine hull and extended waterline, the Tsunami tracks impressively and remains steady even as you explore varied waterways. It’s often dubbed “the cargo pants of kayak touring” for its reliable, user-friendly performance. 

2. Comfort That Lasts
Its revamped Phase 3 AirPro seat system lets you adjust backrest height, tilt, and leg position—even mid-trip—for lasting comfort on day paddles or overnight excursions. 

3. Rugged, Adventure-Ready Build
Constructed from tough roto‑molded polyethylene with reinforced deck sections, the Tsunami stands up to the demands of travel, shore landings, and rocky terrain.

"Love this kayak! I just upgraded from a Pungo 120 to the Tsunami 145. It has the same comfortable seat as the Pungo. Plenty of legroom and foot rests that are easily adjustable. This kayak cuts through the wakes and waves like a knife. I got the Eclipse color which is really awesome. I highly recommend this boat if you're upgrading to a touring kayak."

Watch, Learn, Paddle
