A top performer in its sea touring class, Tempest blends speed with impeccable manners and excellent maneuverability in all conditions.

  • High-density Gen2 polyethylene construction offers performance and rugged durability
  • Hull shape is optimized for smaller paddlers who want more control and performance in open sea conditions on longer trips
  • Combination of solid initial stability and strong tracking even in high winds make this kayak an excellent choice for rough-water expedition paddling
  • Excellent secondary stability lets even beginners confidently put the boat on edge and hold it there
  • Paddle comfortably all day thanks to the adjustable seat, thigh and hip support, plus Wilderness System's ergonomic ratcheting backband
  • Phase3-XP™ seat can be adjusted on the fly to relieve fatigue on long paddles or lock it in for carved turns
  • New SlideLock footrail system is easily adjustable, comfortable and rugged
  • Three hatches plus plenty of deck rigging allow you to easily stow up to a week's worth of food and gear
  • Full size stern hatch, 10-inch bow hatch and 8-inch day hatch are bulkheaded to keep gear dry and secure while adding flotation
  • Cockpit-controlled drop-down skeg improves tracking
  • Retractable carrying toggles allow easy portaging to and from the water
  • Mid-size is ideal for shorter paddlers needing touring capacity with optimal performance and handling

Made in USA.
