Wilderness Systems Tarpon Series, Recon Pedal and Patrol Kayaks
I walk through the new Wilderness Systems lineup: the Tarpon series, the Recon pedal drive kayak and the Patrol open platform.
What’s in this video
Wilderness Systems had some new kayaks, and I go through three of them here. I start with an overview of the Tarpon series, one of the most popular sit on top lines out there.
Next is the Recon, their pedal drive kayak with a propeller drive. I finish with the Patrol, an open platform sit on top. It’s a short overview, but it shows how the three boats differ: the Tarpon as the classic paddle kayak, the Recon for pedaling, and the Patrol for an open deck.
