This Tsunami 145 adds a course control rudder to help steer in wind and current. The redesigned hull pairs with a Phase 3 AirPro Tour seat that trims fore and aft, sealed hatches and bulkheads for dry storage, two removable mesh deck bags, and an under-deck water bottle holder. It suits day trips and overnight touring with gear.

Good to know

  • Practice deploying and steering with the rudder on calm water before relying on it in wind.
  • A 14 ft boat is easier to load with a roof rack and a second person, or with a loading assist on your rack.

KayakDIY take: A rudder makes a real difference when wind is pushing you around on open water. For more options, browse all my kayak reviews.
