Pungo 125

Update: It has been over a year with the kayak Still in fantastic shape and has several kayak trips and road trips. Still love it.First of all the delivery: the company contacted me early the day of delivery and verified everything. They delivered on time, no issues. The outer wrapping was torn up over about half the kayak but the only damage to the kayak was a few scuffs, much less than what it gets when being loaded on my truck.More critically, the kayak: The kayak is great. I am not a small guy (6' 4", about 260 pounds) with a 34-inch inseam. The kayak fits me with no problems, in fact this is the first kayak I have ever used where I don't have the footrests extended to the max location. I actually had to pull them in about two inches from max. The kayak is extremely stable and tracks in a straight line with no tendency to curve when I stop paddling. The wind picked up while I was trying it out and it handled well, both heading into the wind and with the wind, showing no tendency to spin. Due to the river and wind directions, I did not really see how it handled a side breeze but I expect it to be similar.The kayak paddles very easily given its size. I expected more resistance paddling but it was little different from my old 9 1/2 ft kayak.Overall I really enjoyed the kayak. I will try to post additional comments and photos once I have several more trips completed.

I love my Pungo. It’s a fantastic kayak. It looks beautiful and handles well. I paddle rivers and lakes and like to go on long trips (100+ miles). My only issue was with the shipping. It wasn’t wrapped that well and ended up with some scratches and gouges. It was a little disappointing to not have that brand new look. In a year or so, it won’t make a difference.

Always sit in a kayak before you buy. My first kayak, though great once I was in it, had an opening a little small for my long legs. My brother has this model. It is stable and easy to get into and handles well on the water.

Great product !! But the shipping was horrendous.... item came full of large scratches and bottom was bowed. The dry dock in back had split and had large hole in it. Got a discount and kept it only cuz no more in stock at that time.

I think for the price it should have come in pristine shape. I am disappointed with the quality. As you can see from pictures, there are several cuts, blemishes, pitting and dirty rubbed in marks.

Fantastic kayak! Tracks very well in streams and rivers. I love the adjustable seats and the dashboard has lots of accessories. My wife got jealous and bought one for herself!

This is not my first Wilderness Systems kayak but my third. My second Pungo. First let me say that I think WS makes a great kayak and that is why I trusted in buying this boat on Amazon when I saw it on sale for $850 and free shipping. Great deal!!The boat arrived over a week later than initially scheduled, not that big of a deal. But then when I found the deep gouges in the stern and all of the small holes in the molding, bungees not fully secured, deck emblem cockeyed, and a rough edge on the outer rim of the cockpit opening, I was extremely disappointed.I was hoping to reach out to WS via my order thru Amazon but there was no such option, leaving me with no choice but to leave a one star review in the hopes that WS or the Amazon retailer that sold me this boat made on the Friday before Memorial Weekend to remedy this situation.

The Pungos are beautiful kayaks. And they are a joy to use. So smooth!The 125 is perfect for my (larger) size. But the 125 is just a little bigger than the 120. When I put the two side by side it is hard to see the actual difference in size.
