The Tsunami 145 fits larger paddlers and day-trippers who want to cover distance. With a 350-pound capacity and a roomy 35.75 by 20-inch cockpit, it suits bigger bodies and anyone hauling camping gear for overnight trips. The rudder makes it a smart pick for coastal bays, big lakes, and anywhere wind pushes you around.
