Wilderness Systems Tsunami 165 Sea Touring Kayak - You want a touring kayak that has capabilities as diverse as your outdoor lifestyle, without limitations. You need both the stability of a recreational boat along with the comfort, speed, and tracking expected in a touring series. Well then, you want a Wilderness Systems Tsunami 165 Kayak! Wilderness Systems' unique V-hull design is multi-chined to give both novice paddlers and more experienced boaters the control they desire, all without sacrificing comfort. With added length for more speed and capacity, the Tsunami 165 sea kayaks are the perfect choice for getting into the sport or advancing your skills. This ultra-comfortable kayak with premium Phase 3 XP Outfitting offers more speed and stability than a typical sea kayak for relaxing day or weekend trips. With adjustable padded thigh braces, leg lifters, touring backband, and the Slidelock Footbrace System you are insured a customizable fit. You'll also have plenty of storage space with 3 hatches and bulkheads. More than capable for a weekend trip, when you're ready to paddle the distance then look no further than the Tsunami 165 from Wilderness Systems!
Optional Rudder-Ready Kayak Rudder Kit - A kayak rudder can aid your steering in high winds or currents. If you are paddling in ever-changing weather conditions, consider adding a rudder to your kayak. This kit is easy to install, and comes with everything you’ll need. Simply choose the ‘+ Rudder Kit’ in the selection menu. Note – Installation is required.
Why different sizes? - Because one size does not fit all. The Tsunami 12.5 is perfect for any type of calm water paddling and has a comfortable roomy cockpit. The Tsunami 13.5 is designed for the small adult and is stable and easy to turn. The Tsunami 14.5 follows suit but offers additional hull speed and more storage capacity. The Tsunami 16.5 is the choice for more speed and tracking, or multiple days on the water. There is also a Kid's Tsunami SP made specifically for the youngsters. Questions about which size is right for you? Talk to an Outdoorplay paddling specialist at 800.994.4327, Mon-Fri from 7am to 5pm Pacific time.
Don't forget a spray skirt and cockpit cover! A skirt is important for keeping water out of the boat and the cockpit cover helps keep out rain, dust, and things that crawl! A size 1.7 Deck Seals skirt and cockpit cover fits the Wilderness Systems Tsunami 16.5 Touring Kayak.
I bought my Tsunami 165 kayak in the Spring of 2008. Took two kayak Safety classes using it, Basic Paddling as well as Self Rescue. Had it out maybe, 45 times last season, paddling in large and small lakes as well as the Detroit River. Very stable boat, tacks beautifully even without the rudder down. And, with the rudder down it takes away the need to edge constantly to stay on track. Although I hardly ever use it, I'd rather have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, I've got the best of both worlds with this boat. I would not mind if it was a few pounds lighter, however the 62 lbs. is not a big concern, as I am able to carry and or lift it without any problem. This is my first kayak, and I don't see having to purchase another for 10 years or so. This may be my one and only boat, very happy with this choice.

This review is based on a 2 hour outing on flat and slow moving water, 90+ degree summer day with a 5'7" 215 lb male paddler of intermediate experience. I picked up my new poly Tsunami 165 yesterday and had it on the water for the first time today. I bought this boat for multi-day trips on medium to large rivers and lakes. It is, as advertised, a very stable boat considering it is less than 24" wide. For a heavier (60+ lbs) poly boat it has good to above average speed. The tracking was near perfect, even going upriver against the current and with a moderate breeze coming in at about 2 o'clock (just off the bow to the right). For a longer boat, it maneuvered well requiring just the smallest bit of edging to swing into a hard turn. Smaller turns or slight course corrections were made with a subtle lean or a single wide stroke. The footpegs adjustments are right at your fingertips and move easily. The 3 way seat adjustment really dials in the comfort level...I even stayed seated while taking a snack/water break. The day hatch is just behind and to the right of the seat and was fairly easy to access while seated. It has it's own bulkhead so smaller handy items won't roll around or get mixed in with larger gear inside the big rear hatch. I can squeeze a small soft sided cooler into mine and still have room to spare. The larger fore and aft compartments look to easily hold all of my camping equipment and supplies for several days. Hatch covers went on and off with ease and seem to seal well. I have heard some complaints about Wilderness hatches in general but this is my third Wilderness boats with no hatch problems to report. There is plenty of deck rigging for strapping down large loads or to keep odds and ends (paddle float, pump, water bottle, maps, etc.) on deck and close at hand.
