Wilderness Systems Targa 130T Features

Enclosed bow storage
The covered storage located in the bow keeps everything you need accessible, and sheds water so that everything stays dry. No more worrying about drenching your phone or hiding your keys – all your stuff can come along with you safely!

Reversible bow camp chair seat
The Targa 130T’s configuration allows for standard tandem paddling, face-to-face paddling, and solo paddling. Rotate the seat backwards if you want to talk to your buddy while on the water.

Open padded floor design and optional solo seat position
The open design and multiple position bow and stern seats give you plenty of flexibility. No matter who you’re paddling with – friends, family, pets, or solo – you’ll have a spot for them.

Adjustable footrests
No matter which seating configuration you choose, you’ll find a foot position that works for you. Simply adjust the footrests to your position!

Rigid bow, stern, and side carrying handles
Weighing in at just under 100 lbs., this kayak is easy to carry, especially if you’re a team of two (or more!).

Elevated stern camp chair seat
The camp chair-style seats are designed for maximum comfort. Plus, the Targa 130T’s elevated stern seat provides excellent visibility when paddling.

Stern portable cooler
There’s nothing like a cold one on the water on a hot summer day. A portable insulated cooler tucked in to the stern keeps food and bevs cold for as long as you need.
