Wilderness Systems - Tsunami 175 w/ Rudder

THIS ULTIMATE VOYAGE MACHINE HAS THE MOST GEAR STORAGE IN THE TSUNAMI LINE.

Serious expedition paddlers and larger-framed tourers finally have a sea kayak built to match their ambitions and their load.

The Tsunami 175 is the longest and most capable model in the Tsunami lineup, designed for multi-day touring and open water crossings where storage capacity and hull performance genuinely matter. At 17'6", it carries gear for extended trips without feeling overloaded, making it a strong choice for coastal paddling, Great Lakes crossings, and backcountry canoe route alternatives where a high-performance sea kayak opens up entirely new territory.

The included rudder adds meaningful control in variable conditions, crosswinds, and following seas, the kind of situations that test any touring kayak on exposed Canadian waterways. A narrower 24" beam keeps the hull efficient and fast, rewarding paddlers who put in the time to develop their technique. The lower-volume cockpit dimensions suit larger paddlers who want a snug, connected feel rather than a loose recreational fit.

With the highest storage capacity in the Tsunami line split between bow and stern hatches, you can pack thoughtfully for multi-night trips without compromising on what you bring.
