Tampico 135 S

If you are a small to mid-sized paddler, you know how frustrating it is to get a kayak that fits you. Buying a kayak that’s too big for you is very much like wearing shoes two sizes too large—sure you can get around, but you’re not very efficient. So don’t compromise! Ask your dealer for a Tampico 135 S, and you can have all the characteristics of a high-end composite kayak for half the cost. The Tampico 135 S tracks better than many kayaks that are two- or three-feet longer. The straight keel and asymmetrical hull provides excellent efficiency. If you are new to kayaking, you will be surprised at the stability the sleek looking Tampico 135S offers. We created a slightly lower foredeck and eliminated the “knuckle banging” that’s common in touring boats. You’ll find a good cockpit fit and control without sacrificing entry room. At 41 lbs, there is no other kayak in its class that paddles and carries with such ease. The front and rear hatches are backed up with our own special bulkheads for buoyancy and dry storage. The perimeter safety lines and full front and rear deck bungies give the Tampico secure storage above deck.
