Profile

Our Tsunami 135 is roto poly without rudder (and in the only nice color -- red). My wife is 5'2" & 95 lbs, and I'm 5'10" 150 lbs, so we are on each end of the recommended body size spectrum. It fits both of us well by simply adjusting the thigh pads and foot rests -- a <5 minute adjustment. Stability is exceptional because of the hull design, low cockpit height, and the fact it sits so low in the water (which also looks great, especially because it is red). Handling and maneuverability is also excellent; a rudder is unnecessary except on a large body of water in high wind. Weight is a fairly low at 48 lbs -- add 3 lbs for a rudder or subtract 3 lbs for fiberglass, which we appreciate when it's out of the water. The cost (Canadian dollars) was very reasonable for such a well-designed/well-engineered/good-looking (did I mention that it's red?) kayak.
