Wilderness Systems Tsunami 175 Pro Kayak Review 

Glad to hear our videos have been helpful in narrowing down the right boat for you! Sadly though, the Tsunami 175 PRO has been discontinued, which means you won't be able to find any dealer who stocks it anymore... Your best bet in finding the pro version would be secondhand from a personal sale. To find the poly version, I suggest looking at Wilderness Systems' Dealer Locator page on their website. This will help you determine a dealer close to you and then get the conversation started with them about bringing one in for you!

Im actually looking for the polyethylene version.... or a comparable brand and model to the Tsunami 175.

Great video if you could hear it

Thanks for your comment and being engaged with our videos, Scott. I'm glad you're finding them useful! Your choice between the Tsunami and Jura boils down to the performance elements you're trying to achieve. If it's playfulness and skills development, I'd suggest the Jura, but if stability and user-friendliness are priority, the Tsunami is a better option. Of course, test paddling (if possible) is the best way to find out which feels most comfortable. One thing I'll suggest is looking over the Tsunami carefully before buying, especially if it includes the rudder system.The design of the bow as it tappers to the mid-ship can cause gel-coat cracking where the foot pegs of the original rudder system bolt in. The foot rail is straight and stiff, while the transition from bow to mid-ship is slightly curved - tightening the rail sufficiently makes the gel-coat susceptible to spider cracking. Finally, for a few other suitable options, check out: + Tahe Marine's Reval HV - www.frontenacoutfitters.com/reval-hv-17-7-kevlar.html + Impex Kayaks' Assateague - abitibico.ca/en/products/performance-touring/assateague-17-10/p2 + Delta Kayaks' 17 - www.frontenacoutfitters.com/delta-17-rudder.html + Current Designs' Solstice GT Titan - cdkayak.com/Kayaks.aspx?id=34 Hope this helps, but don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions!

@@CoryDavis-CBD, thanks for the reply. One more option maybe you can offer your opinion on and that is the Etain 17.7 from Valley. I'm thinking 21.5 wide might be tough but they list this boat as a 200 to 275lb paddler so figured I'd ask.. I note you didn't list anything from Boreal. Keep making these great videos, they're the best one out there.

The Tsunami 175 in this video is from 2012. Wilderness Systems discontinued their pro models (fiberglass construction) in 2014 unfortunately, so they are now only available in polyethylene plastic construction.

Wilderness Systems website says that the price starts from $1,689.

WIldy's PRO Composite version (fibreglass) is no longer available. The Polyethylene version (roto-molded plastic) Retails @ $1689 USD or $1989 CAD.

Unfortunately these haven't been in production for a number of years. You might be able to find one used.

@@FrontenacOutfitters i see... i was lucky, i found a place on long island which had a used one!

@@FrontenacOutfitters bought it off them right away.

ooops that should read ; adequate legroom in the boat
