A 230 cm paddle is the most popular length for paddlers who use a relaxed style of paddling and whose strokes are at a low angle in relation to the surface of the water. This style is very common and used during recreational outings and most touring environments. If you are under 6 foot or prefer a higher angle stroke, you might consider a 220 cm paddle.

Wilderness Systems Zephyr 155 Touring Sea Kayak with TruTrak Skeg - The Wilderness Systems Zephyr 155 sea kayak was designed to be a playful, friendly kayak that excels in rough sea conditions, rock gardens, or surf and wind. This award-winning design is extremely playful and balanced, giving you a fun combination of maneuverability and sea worthy tracking. The Zephyr 155 offers a slightly wider hull with more rocker and a pronounced bow, making it a sporty touring kayak. The beam and flare of the moderately soft-chined hull gives the Zephyr outstanding stability on edge and carves very aggressive turns. When it’s time to cover some distance, the TruTrak skeg keeps the Zephyr 155 moving straight and tracking true. The hydrofoil shape cuts efficiently through water, and retracts into a water-tight housing when not in use.With the Phase 3XP's ultra comfortable, multi-adjustable seating with a leg lifter, touring backband, and seat pads that contour to your body shape, you're assured a comfortable ride. Smaller-framed paddlers enjoy maximum control with a tighter-fitting, lowered deck. The sporty Wilderness Systems Zephyr 155 sea kayak offers balanced performance, making it the ultimate day or weekend exploring kayak.
Note: Each multicolor boat is unique, and color patterns vary boat to boat.
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 Zephyr 155 touring sea kayak.
Wilderness Systems Zephyr 155 is a British style sea kayak which best suits intermediate & advanced paddlers seeking a shorter, playful and responsive ride for skills progression. It makes every paddle an adventure! I love this kayak!

I ordered a Wilderness Systems Zephyr early this summer as a second boat to compliment my Tempest 170. I love the Tempest, the outfitting is about the best I have ever paddled, but wanted something a bit more playful and spirited. The Zephyr is a swede form design that sits much lower in the water, has significantly more rocker and much greater maneuverability with minimal loss in tracking. In fact, I have noticed less weathercocking and wind effect in the Zephyr likely due to the much lower profile. She is a very spirited day touring boat, lean turns and edging seem almost automatic, and there is almost no tipping point to speak of. It is one of the smoothest easiest rolling boats I've paddled, and handles big conditions with confidence. I live on Lake Ontario and often venture out into large surf and strong winds to "play" and the Zephyr has become my go to boat.

I just got this boat over the weekend and I've only taken it out once but I have to say I love it. I've owned a WS Tempest 170 and a WS Tsunami 145. The Zephyr is like a scaled down version of the Tempest, it has the same adjustable seat and foot pegs with the adjustable thigh pads as well. It also has a drop skeg. The cockpit is a little roomier that the Tempest and was easier to get in and out of but the overall profile of the boat was similar. I'm 5'7", 185 lbs. so larger paddlers might find the Zephyr 16 to be a better fit. The boat handled very well and has good speed. I had it out on the Hudson River on a relatively calm day with a friend who was paddling my Tsunami 14.5. The Zephyr was quite a bit faster. On the way back we switched boats for a little while, man what a difference. My partner has only been kayaking 4 times and she felt really comfortable in the boat. I should also mention that the day hatch has a new style lid on it that opens and closes much more easily and actually seems to seal quite a bit tighter than the ones on the Tempest and Tsunami. If you are looking for a hard core touring kayak you may be better of with the Tempest but this is a great boat for anyone from the beginner to the advanced day paddler.
