The Tarpon is a perfectly balanced performance sit-on-top kayak that was designed to handle a variety of paddling environments.
The revered Tarpon was engineered with a unique hull flare that allows for unparalleled stability and tracking while still maintaining speed and responsive handling.
The ergonomically designed Phase 3® AirPro seating system offers quick and easy back and leg support, making the Tarpon the most comfortable sit-on-top kayak on the market.
