Arctic Hawk versus Tempes

Posted by Petewp on Apr 26, 2004

I have no interwst in buying a Wilderness systems kayak, but after thumbing thru their catalog I read something htat made my head cock a bit...

They tout their TEMPEST as a TRUE sea kayak and mention their Arctic Hawk as a decent Greenland Style kayak for Greenland techniques.

Im sorry, isnt the Arctic Hawk just as seaworthy for the heavy ocean swell and chop?

Interestingly, they mentiuon their multichine Cape Horn as suitable for protected bays, calm oceans and slow rivers - truth in advertising.
