An extremely light and reasonably priced recreational double kayak with one cockpit. Very stable. High-back, padded seats are easily adjustable, and can be positioned for solo paddling. Fits paddlers of almost any size, and can accomodate a small child if you purchase a 3rd-party kid's seat. More than 20 lbs. lighter than standard polyethylene plastic tandems.
Staff Member/Instructor/Guide Dan says:
There is absolutely no other tandem that compares with the 140T in terms of weight. It's the lightest tandem available. If you want to paddle rougher waters you'll want a larger boat, but for recreational use the 140T can't be topped!
