With a Deep V Chine Hull, Fluid Steering System™ rudder, and keel extension, the SPRINT 140DT is a 14' long day touring kayak designed specifically for those who are serious about kayaking. Increased secondary stability, a faster hull design providing better return on effort, and significantly improved tracking is just the beginning of what you can expect from this kayak. The SPRINT 140DT is made with our patented RAM-X™ PREMIUM material, an exceptionally durable high molecular weight polyethylene that contains a top layer of advanced resin, which provides more rigidity while still being conveniently lightweight. With ergonomic carrying handles and at only 55 lb, you will find this 14' day touring kayak simple to load and carry around. The SPRINT 140DT is made for long hours on the water. Our Ergoflex G2 Seating System is designed to give you the support and cushioning you'll need. It is designed to provide you with extra back support and allows you to adjust not only the degree of tilt but the height of the backrest as well. Adjustable footrests and padded thigh braces round out the features that will ensure your comfort throughout your adventure. The Fluid Steering System™ rudder is easily controlled through the foot pegs and will keep you straight when paddling in strong-cross winds or crosscurrents. This kayak comes rigged with a lifeline for those moments where you need to grab on to something. Front and rear bulkheads will ensure your kayak stays afloat in some of the choppiest conditions allowing you a chance to bail out any extra water and get back in if ever you flip. Extra deck rigged bungee cords will allow you to strap down all your water proof gear while an 8"" day hatch with storage bag, and a front and rear quick lock hatch will give you plenty of room to store items with minimal water contact. A bottle holder with bungee cord will help keep your choice of beverage within easy reach. The cockpit on the SPRINT 140DT includes a prominent lip allowing you to easily attach the spray skirt of your choice. It's time to take your kayaking to the next level with this day touring kayak, the SPRINT 140DT is sure to fuel stories worth sharing for years to come!

OK, Looks like I am the…
OK, Looks like I am the first one review this boat :-) I am in this sport about a year now, I start with a site-on-top than quickly switch to a WS Pungo 120 (2018 version). Few weeks ago I start looking for a longer boat for open water, and finally pull the trigger for this Sprint 140DT due to the price. I first wanted to get the Delta 14, but can't swallow the price tag. Also with ABS kayaks, it needs to be more careful to use! I do lots of beach launch and beaches in long island are not so good in condition. For now I stay with poly boat. Purchase this kayak from REI few weeks ago in reg price $1049 + tax, but I do get 10% members dividend at the end of the year. So far I did 3 trips with this boat, it is sure a huge upgrade from my pungo 120. This kayak come standard with a plastic rudder and total weight is 55lb. 14ft long, 25" wide and 15" depth. Seat is very comfortable for long hours paddle, I feel comfortable covering 14 miles in long island sound in a choppy water. Sure this boat is not the lightest but not so bad for a poly boat (Eddyline Sikka LT 14.6 ft is 49lb) so is only few lb's different!. This 140DT track very good even without using the rudder, IMO paddles weight is very important as well. You will feel the different after long hours! I also upgrade to a full carbon paddle, to me it makes a big different. My friends in my group start getting touring kayaks as upgrade at the same time and date as I did. We have Eddyline Skita ST, LT, Fathom LV and a Delta 14, mine is the cheapest LOL. we all hit the water that day with all these new boats. To be honest, don't let the brand fool you! this Sprint 140DT did every thing it did as these expensive boats. I try them all, the Fathom LV and the ST is the most fastest, no doubt about it! However, the Eddyline Sikta LT and Delta 14 is about the same as Sprint 140DT. It all comes down to materials and brand name. Pelican make low-end boats for beginners and mainstream customers for big box stores, it doesn't mean they can't made good boats :-) other expensive brands made boats for fans! This boat is true bang for the buck deal however if lime green color is not your color, you have to look for other models, because this is the only color!
