I took it for a test ride last summer as well as other made my Ocean Kayak. Everyone who paddled
the Tarpon loved it. In fact the dealer sold
two on the spot. Out of all the Yaks I tested
I liked the WS Tarpon and The Ride the best.
I do some fly fishing so I was looking for a yak
that was stable enough to cast from and both
WS yaks not only were the most stable but also
had the best deck layouts out off all the
yaks for standing on. I ended up buying The Ride
only because the Tarpon was a little too long
for me to be hauling and storing. If those aren't a concern for you I'd buy the tarpon. Its alot
faster and has a smoother ride the The Ride.
Good Luck
