Nice.anyguess to the price gonna be

I would guess like the Tarpon series, but I really don't know.

i like it i wonder if it will be the same price as the ride series looks like i got to get this one also lol

Any idea what the specs are? Length, width, weight etc. I'm curious what makes this a better offshore boat than the tarpon 160.

I think WS makes very high quality boats. Would love to see a tarpon 160 with a bit more rocker for the surf zone.

Thanks for the link.

One boat at 14.5' and one at 15.5'. 30" wide. Paddles well. Super stable compared to the 160. I leaned as far as I could over the side and I would fall out before the boat rolled. I then did the same in my 160 and rolled right over. I crushes through the surf better than the Tarpon too. Much drier ride.

Hitting surf head on.

Rob,

Is that a GIANT hatch in the front?? That looks killer dude!

Yes sir! Unfortunately your Free dive fins are too long to fit in it. , but they will fit in the center hatch . Speared fish will fit in the forward hatch quite nicely though.

You could  fill the forward hatch with ice as a cooler too!

Well what good is it then!!   

Just kidding. Looks very cool and I'm looking forward to checking it out dude!

how about a beach wheels kayak cart frame?

specs ...payload...price...those guys in the video are smaller guys...any boat looks stable when they are tipping around in it imho...

I still have a lot to learn. I did not know newer models change that much on stability.  I guess that's one reason people keep buying new ones or have multiple at home to choose from.   

Is there a kayak review magazine or website that goes over all the changes for different water types. 

A couple of you made suggestions for us bigger guys and I am keeping notes for when I am ready to buy, but the ones I tried so far all feel wobbly to me. I would love to be able to move around the kayak freely or store stuff up front and not feel like I was going to roll right in the water when trying to access it.
