Every three years, Sea Kayaker Magazine invites subscribers and online readers to vote for their favorite paddling products. It is truly the will of the people, as the readers have no limitations or guidelines in naming their best in class choice. Voting took place this past winter; and the magazine received a record number of submissions.

Wilderness Systems is honored to receive two Reader’s Choice Awards in the kayak division.

  • Tempest 170: Best Kayak for Day and Weekend Touring
  • Tarpon 120: Best Sit On Top Kayak

“We’re thrilled to receive a Reader’s Choice Award,” said Sue Rechner, CEO of Confluence Watersports, “It’s truly an honor; and it inspires us to keep doing what we love to do - making great boats for people who love to paddle.”

The Tempest, a boat that blends performance and versatility, is a perennial favorite in the Wilderness Systems touring line. The Tarpon 120 is the ultimate luxury, sit on top, performance kayak. The Tarpon has been a hit with anglers and non-anglers alike. Wilderness Systems will continue to push the bounds of innovation, design and quality with the express goal of offering the ultimate in touring performance.

Sea Kayaker Magazine will publish the Reader’s Choice Awards in the December 2008 issue. As triennial awards, the current distinctions are valid through 2011.
