“A fun line of boats, perfect for the beginner or the paddler who likes running rivers like the Neuse. The flat bottom gives the paddler the feeling of stability, and the wide open cockpit gives you room to handle fishing gear or dangle your legs out the side on a hot Carolina Summer Day.”-Nick
“This is one of our most popular selling recreation boats, the learning curve is pretty short, and the tracking ability of this boat is legendary. The dry storage allows you to keep your goods dry, and the Phase Three seat allows you the comfort to paddle all day. This is an awesome boat in any length and is highly recommended.”-Chuck
“With so many choices in length, this boat can be purchased to fit like a glove. Whether you are into short fitness paddles, or long touring, this boat is built to go straight and fast. Our customers love these boats for paddling Falls Lake, or going down to paddle the Intracoastal Waterway.”-Spider
“This boat is great for the beginner, fisherman, or sunbathing paddler. It is difficult to compare other boats in this class, as the Tarpon has so many extra features that you don’t see in other sit on top kayaks. This is a staff favorite that is often outfitted with an angler kit.”- Troy
“Great surf boat for riding waves, it is a nice no frills option that is easy to carry. The seat back makes it easier to paddle.”-Chuck
“These boats are the SUV of the paddling world. These canoes are incredibly versatile. The IQ system that comes standard on the boats allows for a lot of attachments that make this boat no ordinary canoe”-Chuck
“We run these boats down the river every day during our river trip season, they are a true workhorse.”-Nick
“This is a great recreational canoe at an affordable price, the folding seat backs make paddling all day more comfortable.”-Chuck
“I like the feel of the boat, and the new seat pad helps for those long paddles.”-Nick
“These are new to our shop, I am very glad we brought these boats in. The subdued skeg allows you to turn pretty easily and the smaller cockpit gives it a more athletic fit.”-Nick
“We are getting a lot of positive feedback about the Zone Seating.”-Spider
“This is a nice boat for someone who wants to get into a transitional touring boat. It handles very well with a relatively low learning curve.”-Troy
“Nice new addition to the shop. These boats are available with and without bulkheads. The 10 is a nice beginner boat without a bunch of bells and whistles. The high cockpit gives it a comfortable feel for people who need extra room for their feet.”
Excellent kayak for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. The stability and straight tracking are two of the many benefits that this kayak offers, which make it a great boat for the kayak angler. I purchased my Tarpon more than a year ago, and to date I have absolutely no complaints. I have and will continue to highly encourage others to purchase this great sit on top model.
