An icon is reimagined in the all-new Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145. The aesthetics of the new Wilderness Systems Tsunami 145 inspire performance and exploration with modern deck lines, while a focus on improving the paddler experience sees new features incorporated into the design, two removable mesh deck storage bags are perfect for stowing close-at-hand items, and an under-deck storage area provides another alternative for staging your favorite beverage. Small changes with big effects have also been integrated into the hull, the flared sidewalls and increased volume above the waterline have been improved to provide more confidence and stability, while the longer waterline has increased speed and efficiency.
