Santee 100 LT

Sadly many first time paddlers didn’t think about weight when they bought their first kayak. After you’ve lugged a 50-lbs kayak down to the water a few times, you’ll wish you’d bought a Santee 100. At 29 lbs, the Santee 100 LT is extraordinarily light, easy to carry and launch. Once you’re launched, you’re in one of the most stable and efficient 10-ft kayaks ever built. The below deck storage provides lots of room to carry gear for your adventures. The strong keel lines of the Santee 100 LT hull help keep it tracking like a longer kayak, but without the extra weight and transport issues. Get ready for some envious glances, since people will think your Santee 100 LT is a composite kayak costing far more than you paid. If you want the ultimate lightweight kayak, check out the Santee 100 LT at a gossamer 29 lbs.

Santee 116

There are certain products in this world that just flat “nail it,” when it comes to meeting the public’s expectations. The Santee 116 is a rare find in recreational kayaks, as it offers outstanding stability without sacrificing the ability to turn easily and track well. The Santee 116 is the kayak our competition hates to see you test ride at demos. After the first paddle strokes, they know you’ll be amazed with our Santee 116. The Swede-form design, coupled with the crisp entry lines of the Santee 116 bow, make this kayak more efficient than other kayaks in its class. This means you’ll cruise the rivers, backwaters and lakes with less effort, while still feeling stable and comfortable. The Santee 116 has front and rear hatches with sealed bulkheads for superior floatation and convenient storage for your day tripping. We consider the Santee 116 to be the true “sport utility” boat in our fleet. It is a pleasure to paddle for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

Santee 116 Sport

“I’d buy four of your Santee 116, if you’d just make the cockpit opening longer so we can get our birding gear stowed in easily,” wrote JP. We did and he did. The Santee 116 Sport still handles like the incredible 116, but it is 17 inches longer in the opening. You can put fly rod tubes, tripods and other outdoor tools of play in the cockpit with you. Even the right dog can ride in there too. We’re waiting for pictures of your cats. The 116 Sport still has a rear Hurricane hatch with watertight bulkhead, and it weighs in at a scant 35 lbs. So go ahead . . . take that extra cooler or dry box with you and make a day of it.

Tampico 135S

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.

Tampico 135L

We can’t tell you how many paddlers called us and whined once they paddled our Tampico 135 S, but found they didn’t quite fit the cockpit and foredeck. Well we got the message loud and clear. We recreated the magic glide/ride of the 135 S, but gave the deck a little lift for more foot room. For your long legs, we stretched out the cockpit for easier entry/exit. We swear we didn’t mess with the lower hull! Like the Tampico 135 S, the 135 L is a fast cruiser that never shows concern should the waters get rough. Carving turns on the river is so easy, it’s almost like water ballet.

Tampico 140S

The Tampico 140 series has been improved:

The original Tampico 140 S is a great Kayak. Nonetheless, we recognized an opportunity to make it even better. We moved the cockpit slightly forward to create a more balanced kayak – on and off the water. The end result is a better paddling experience and a kayak which is easier to carry and car-top. We also decided to broaden the audience for whom the Tampico 140 S may be a good fit; we added a small amount of volume to the deck, just forward of the cockpit. The Tampico 140 S will now comfortably accommodate smaller paddlers (120 lbs) to slightly large paddlers up to about 185 lbs. The Tampico 140 S features performance outfitting which includes an ergonomically contoured seat, thigh braces, and the Sonic back-band from Surf to Summit; all combined for precise control and performance. Additionally – a larger storage hatch replaces the 10” round hatch for the easier stowage of gear, such as tents, deluxe Therma-rest pads, espresso machines.....
The Tampico 140 S with its integrated keel line doles out superior tracking and yet retains a surprising level of maneuverability. The subtle though apparent sheer line of the Tampico 140 S permits confident navigation through heavy chop. The Tampico 140 S is a great kayak whether you are in Pamlico Sound for the day or Puget Sound for several days.

Tampico 140L

The Tampico 140 series has been improved:

The Tampico 140 L features the same hull and performance characteristics as the Tampico 140 S, with increased volume in the deck to accommodate larger kayakers (185-225 lbs). The Tampico 140 L offers a more comfort oriented outfitting package, for those kayakers who prefer comfort over a more tailored fit.
