Kayak Reviews • Wilderness Systems Pungo120

[Novice]

I picked up my new Pungo120 kayak from Adventure Outlet down on the Gold Coast today and promptly took it for a shakedown hitout over at Hinze.

For those interested , here are the specs :

Weight(kg):22
Width(cm):74
Length(cm):366
Capacity (kg):147

It comes with a few features aswell:

• Phase 3 Outfitting
• Knee Pad with Inner/Outer Cockpit Brace Options
• Slidelock Footbrace System
• Oval Orbix Stern Hatch
• Deck Rigging
• Comfort Carry Handles
• Stern Bulkhead
• Kayak Konsole

With it being longer than my Tarpon100's, I had to find room for it on the roof.




The Pungo has a removable work station ( Wilderness Systems call it a Kayak Konsole).






Bought a nice paddle to go with the yak too.






Fishbrain showing me that there are fish in Hinze.


Compared to the Tarpon100 , this yak easily slides through the water and tracks very straight. With it having such a pronounced keel, more effort is needed than with the Tarpon to make it turn quickly.But overall its a good trade off.

Just need to deck it out now . First up will be installing the KeelEzy( keel guard).

Cheers,
Dave.

Hobie horizontal rod holders and guide for the anchor rope.

Jam cleat for the anchor rope mounted on the console.




Cheers,

Very well thought out setup Dave. I like the storage of the Pungo as well .
It will be interesting to see how the Keelezy lasts.
Thanks for the pictures.
Richo.

Looks kinda similar to my X-press. Sits lower in the water though.
Lots of fun there.
