Zephyr 155 ST Limited Edition Concept
The Canoe & Kayak Annual Buyer’s Guide hit newsstands last week. For the gear-obsessed and the neophyte alike, it is the culmination of an eleven-month wait to gather information on just about every boat on the market. The venerable editors of Canoe & Kayak also use this issue to announce the list of “Chosen Ones,” their choices for the best boats of the year.
Wilderness Systems is very proud to have the carbon/Kevlar Zephyr 155 ST Limited Edition selected as the “Chosen One” in the touring kayak category. “This boat has been a labor of love; and we’re extremely honored that it’s been named a ‘Chosen One’ by Canoe & Kayak,” said Sue Rechner, CEO of Confluence Watersports. “With the Zephyr 155 ST, we wanted to take performance and material usage to the next level. I credit Bob McDonough and Louis Rondeau, the main architects of the carbon Zephyr, for not only taking a concept and turning it into an incredible kayak to paddle; but also for creating what we humbly believe is one of the most beautiful boats around.”

2009 Tarpons Shipping Now!
The fully-redesigned 2009 Tarpon Series is now available! Check with your local Wilderness Systems dealer for more information.
The ultimate all-around sit on top kayak gets a major redesign for the 2009 season. We’ve painstakingly overhauled every detail for improved performance, comfort, and rigging capability. We’ve even revolutionized the scupper tube design through a new patent-pending process for unmatched water tightness.
The all-new Tarpon offers improved performance by enhancing the bow lift for gliding through the surf and significantly increased tankwell size for more storage. Raised floors offer an even drier ride in the seating area. The real headliner, though, is the improvement of the total paddling experience made possible by a series of outfitting and deck innovations.
