Great review mate-awesome looking new design,love the deck bag features-my new Dagger has a skeg so foot pegs the same as your original ones-great deck height on the new model.Like the storage area in cockpit and even the small mesh pouch is a good idea.Paddle on mate.
Outstanding review . Best on UA-cam !! I’ve been looking at this kayak on line and am trying to arrange a try out . Would love to see a review of you paddling it . Also , have you done any fishing at all with it ? Again, great review !
If you check out the other videos we have up, my wife has the same kayak just "zombie" color or Borealis Green. I am trying to get a pole to stick the gopro on behind me on the kayak. Thanks for the positive comment about the review. I had been looking for a long time and could only find 2.
While it is not obvious, you can in fact move the seat. If you loosen all four screws you will find that the mount for the seat is slotted and held in place by two threaded brackets with tabs. You can actually gain about 2 inches.
Great video, thanks. Bought the same boat. Does your rudder peg come all the way through to the inside of the rear hatch. Can’t get mine to sit flat on the top of the boat. Wonder if I’m supposed to drill out the plastic or I just don’t have it mounted correct.
These are our first kayaks. The only thing I can compare to is a canoe. lol If you check out some of our other videos, you can see my wife padding and she has no issues. We both have rudders and with the rudder up I tend to pull my stroke a little harder with my right hand. However I love the performance, it's not fast compared to our friend who had a fiberglass kayak. Let me know if it is something specific that you are looking for and I will help the best I can.
Got the 125 stored out at my friends place still I just bought back from him used to be my brothers. Trying to figure out if my NRS drylander shock cord skirt will fit it size large deck size.
Hey man, thanks for the video. I’ve been looking at this kayak and the Old Town Castine 145. I actually like the Castine better but I heard the installation of the rudder is a total pain in the butt so I’m thinking about the tsunami 145. I bought a used 16 foot touring kayak from the 90’s just to make sure I like it before I spent more money. Well I do like it so I want a newer nicer kayak. Do you like the seat?
Sorry I took so long to reply. The seat is nice. I like how I can adjust the back up and down and back and forward. You can also lift the front part of the seat. So if you want to lock yourself in tight you can or if you just want to relax you can.
Have you tried to modify those foot braces yet? My idea would be to cut the grey adjuster part off...leave about an inch or 2 and drill an 1/8 inch hole, put a round key ring through the hole to connect your steering cables to.
You can actually pull the rivets out that hold the adjusters on...attach your cables to the rivet holes...where the adjuster runs through, get a piece of plastic tubing and epoxy that in those and run cables through the tubing. Hope that helps ya.
I have not tried to modify them. I have been told that the company that I bought the kayaks from sent old foot braces. I was told that the XL foot braces will work with the 2018 Wilderness Tsunami.
I also have one, not too hard to get in and out of, just need get shore side leg out, lean, and slide your butt right behind the cockpit. Using a paddle for balance doesn't hurt, either. I am a chubby middle aged man with sore knees, and I can do it most times successfully.
I will be doing another video and I'll be measure the cockpit. This should give everyone a better idea if they can fit. Let me know if you are looking for something specific you want me to measure.

Great video, these are the details I've been looking for! Sounds like you've got some paintballers in the area.
Good video. Wilderness Systems has done some upgrades since the 2010 model of this boat.

Thank you. Lot's of room and we are hoping to get out and do some kayak camping next month.
That's a beautiful boat you have there. I was just in looking Ata new one today but will probably buy used.

Look forward to a review of paddling performance. 👍

That mess bag wouldn’t be traveling with me! I have a Tsunami 175 and love it.

I’m 5.10 ft and thinking to get the tsunami 145. What size paddle would you recommend for this kayak? Thanks!
Does it have a drain plug?
What color is the boat? Borealis or sonar? It looks amazing
I have the 2018 Solar and the wife has Borealis Green.

I'm considering buying one, but I was curious as to how easy (or difficult) it is to enter and exit. What are your experiences concerning that?

Man, I like it but I dont think I can get in the thing, they stopped making the pungo 140

I'm surprised there are not any used Pungo 140 for sale with the Orix hatches - some folks are scalping the old rubber hatch 2010 & older editions.
