"Hello Francisco! I own a tarpon 160 and absolutely love it! I've only paddled TSUNAMI 165's at dealer demo's so my experience with it is limited. The Tarpon is not as fast as the Tsunami 165, but I don't think it's…"

- YIKES! Sounds very scarey. Glad you got a rescue when you needed it. Hows the boat? Im pretty afraid of dams..make sure I steer clear, even of the small ones on some of the local rivers. I wished my kayak a happy hibernation yesterday. lol put the cockpit cover on and lay it in his j-hooks for the winter. Its COLD here now, and Im assuming its going to be a pretty rough winter. Makes me wish for Spring to come even sooner!!

- NOT a fan of spiders at all. If I see one when Im paddling, Ill either paddle away from it or try to clock it with my trusty AT paddle. lol Have a great trip to the Gorge! Im once again at work, hence the 3am reply. My fiance almost bought a Tsunami from a guy on ebay. Would have been a total impulse buy so he did not in the end. But I have him soooo excited for Spring to role around. :) Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

- Hahaha. Thanks. You are funny. Shift went okay. Was an extra 8 hr shift I picked up for a friend. I am a float nurse so I work on all different units in the hospital depending on who is busy and who needs an extra nurse. As for my "hubbyalmost" as I call him (since wedding will be late next year) maybe he is using me for my nurse-skills but I think theres a bit more to it. ;o) What do you do for a living?

- A Nurse..How good is that....no wonder your hubby proposed to you...hell be safe everytime you both go kayaking...sorry just kidding..ovbiously he loves you...anyway...great job of yours... saving peoples life....have a good shift...

- Sorry, Didnt answer the question you asked...no is not hard to paddle with all that weight.it get bit uneasy..but not too much..we paddle 11 k to the spot that we camping..wich is full of Snakes,Goannas,Lizards,Goats.and enourmeous flyes that have teeths...but is all worth it..because you paddle trough a Gorge that Dynosourus use to use as a playground...water level is 95 metres deep..and there is only two stop over only...its all good..
