It's hard to find a recreational kayak that is stable, lightweight, and fast enough to be fun to paddle. That's the goal of the Hurricane Tampico 130. In this video, I find out if it lives up to the expectations. To test the Tampico 130, I did 3-day kayak camping trip across the Okefenokee Swamp - one of the coolest paddling trips of my life!
