Explore lakes, rivers,canals and coastal waters on a high quality, stable kayak which will look after complete novices. Drawing on their experience and passion for the ocean Tootega have developed a sit on top kayak thatexcels in the surf, whilst still retaining great characteristics for those flat day paddles. The versatile Pulse is also one of the most stable boats in our range, making it perfect to try a spot offishing from, or for a leisurely paddle down your local river.

Taking advantage of cutting edge production and clever design, Tootega have made the Pulse both highlydurable and lightweight. Combined this with their well balanced carry handles and you’ll have no problemcarrying the Pulse down the beach or lifting it onto your car roof rack. - This is a high quality, well made British product using the strongest and lightest plastic available.

- This is no cheap import! How stable is the Tootega Pulse 85? The Tootega Pulse 85 uses Tootega's most stable type of hull! Tootega have carefully designed their double concaved hull to provide leading amounts of initial and secondary stability, boosting confidence from your very first trip. The keel and channeling have been designed to aid tracking during flat water paddling, but to break free whilst planing in the surf, ensuring a lively and manoeuvrable feel. The wide point of the plan shape and low point of the rocker are close to the paddlers hips, giving a responsive, balanced, and natural feel to the kayak.

Additional volume at the rail boosts stability yet further, whilst improving handling in rough water. - Pulse 85 Kayak Features Paddle Park 6" Hatch & Drinks Bottle D-Ring Features Optional Extras Tootega Premium Seat Toteega - Kayak Paddle Tootega - Scupper Plugs Tootega Pulse 85 Specs Length: 259cm / 8.5ft Width: 72cm / 28.5" Weight: 17KG / 34lbs Max Load: 90KG / 195lbs The Tootega - Difference... Tootega have always strived to do things differently, and they’re proud of it! From concept sketch to CAD design, mould tool engineering to productmanufacture they do everything in-house here in Norfolk, United Kingdom.

They do this because they care passionately about their products. Every kayak is carefully made and outfitted by hand, thoroughly checked at every stage of production, and extensively quality controlled by trusted staffprior to dispatch. Tootega Use Custom Inserts Moulded inserts offer many benefits over drilling through the hull, and most good quality kayaks now use these corrosion resistant brass inserts to attach key components to their kayaks.

For load bearing points such as handles or D-ring anchor points however, standard inserts can find their limitations in terms of strength. Quality Fittings All of Tootega’s metal components are stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. Metal rings are also welded to ensure maximum strength.

All of Tootega’s load bearing plastic components are made of glass reinforced nylon, and are either from their own tooling or sourced from reliable manufacturers,They also undertake spot destruction tests to ensure their integrity. Industry Leading Powder Tootega are constantly researching and trialing new plastic formulas and production technologies to ensure they are using only the best possible materials. Their high density compounded polyethylene offers the best possible blend of stiffness, impact resistance, and UV stability they can find.

This allows them toproduce lighter boats, that perform better, and last longer. Engineered Strength Using the best possible plastic is only the first part of the story, making the most of that plastic’s properties comes next. Simple shapes can have a huge impact on the end product.

Some can act to help ‘trap’ plastic in certain areas of the kayak, building up thickness where needed. Some can add corrugation to a shape, aiding stiffness in high load areas. Finally some can act to isolate movement which can be useful if you want to put a sensitive feature in a high load area.

A great example of all these benefits is the central hatch detailing on the Pulse series.
