Price History
Description
Size, weight, and capacity
The Wilderness Systems Targa is 10 ft. (305 cm) long, giving it a reasonable straight-line speed and tracking. At 32 in. (81 cm) wide, it is stable enough to make getting on and off easy, without being difficult or sluggish to paddle.
The Targa weighs 57.5 lbs. (26 kg). Most adults will find this kayak easy enough to rooftop solo, but you might benefit from a trolley if you have to park a long distance from the water’s edge.
An upper weight limit of 325 lbs. (147 kg) isn’t enormous but should fit most mid-sized adults and a small amount of gear, or a cooler full of drinks. There are larger models in the Wilderness Systems range if this isn’t enough capacity for you.
Features
On first look, there isn’t too much going on with the Wilderness Systems Targa. This kayak has been kept clean and simplistic, but that doesn’t stop it from having a good level of features for the recreational kayaker.
The mesh seat is designed for all-day comfort and breathability. It also helps any water drain off quickly. The back system is fully adjustable and can be removed for transport and storage. Adjustable footrests keep you upright in your seat while EVA deck padding improves traction and dampens any noise.
The removable bow hood acts as splash-proof storage for essential items. A large stern storage well, secured with shock cord, gives you space for bags and barrels.
The Targa has a fitted cooler behind the seat to keep your drinks and snacks cool on the go. This cooler can be removed and taken with you onto the beach when you stop for lunch.
Performance
Wilderness Systems Targa is a simple-looking but well-thought-out and effective recreational kayak. The features don’t overload the boat and give you plenty of space to move around, but keep you comfortable on the water and give you plenty of storage options.
The Targa is easy to paddle and suits all levels of kayaker, whether you’re a beginner taking to the water for the first time or an experienced hand searching for a recreational kayak.
The defined bow keel gives the Targa a good level of tracking and direction, while the wide stern keeps this kayak maneuverable and stable.
