The Tootega Pulse 85 Standard is a 1 person sit-on-top kayak that's suitable for paddlers up to 90kg in weight. This is a small sit on top kayak that is well suited towards female kayakers, however it's also very popular with the smaller gents too.
Tootega have designed the pulse to be an extremely versatile kayak and to fulfil a wide range of requirements. It's perfect for having your first go at surf kayaking and it will also excel at river exploration. The Tootega design team have based the Pulse 85 around a self bailing hull design, this makes the kayak very safe to paddle. If you are unfortunate enough as to capsize, you can simply turn the kayak back over and climb back on. Any water within the cockpit area of the kayak will then drain back out of the scupper holes.
The Pulse 85 is a very tough and durable sit on top kayak due to the high quality plastics that have been used in its production. It's quite lightweight so is easy to transport and the moulded-in front and rear kayak carry handles make handling easy. Further side carry handles make it easy to get on and off the car and to the waters edge.
The kayak seat is moulded-in and offers reasonable back support, however you can also add a padded kayak backrest for extra support and comfort. Further support comes from the moulded-in kayak foot pegs. The Pulse 85 also has lots of storage options, the first of these is the rear tank well that's great for a kayak dry bag. There is then a small kayak storage hatch that is located in the middle of the boat, just between the paddlers knees. Directly in front of this there is a recess and a bungee securing strap that's ideal for a drinks bottle.
If the Pulse 85 is used as a sit on top for surfing, you may also wish to add a set of kayak thigh braces. These are easily mounted on the anchor points on each side of the kayak, which will help to give extra control and performance when on the wave.
