The Wilderness Tarpon is a perfectly balanced performance sit-on-top kayak that was designed to handle a variety of paddling environments. The revered Tarpon was engineered with a unique hull flare that allows for unparalleled stability and tracking while still maintaining speed and responsive handling. The ergonomically designed Phase 3 AirPro seating system offers quick and easy back and leg support, making the Tarpon the most comfortable sit-on-top kayak on the market.
The phase 3 Airpro seat system takes cues from automobile technology - variable density cushioning and intuitive adjustment, bringing materials together to make a lightweight, ventilated and multi-position seat that can be used all day without discomfort.
Orbix hatch covers have an innovative 'turn and lock' hinged hatch cover makes gear access easy. Latching the cover with a tight seal is just as easy, simply lock in place with the lever. With low profile locking levers, durable rubber gaskets and rubber lip seals. There are tabs on the inside of the rim compatible with new Orbix hatch bins.
