As far as I can tell, it is what I have been looking for. Hopefully, Dad and I will have one by the end of the week or the weekend.

I have a 2012 Ride 135 and haven't had any regrets. I bought it for the versatility. I wanted something I could take inshore, offshore, and had the capability to stand in. It's super stable and was standing up in it within 5 min. It feels a little tippy when you first stand but once the chines engage it solid. As far as speed, I'd say you're on par with a Tarpon 120. I only say this cuz my fishing partner has one and I paddle stroke for stroke with him. If he had a 140 I'd fall behind though. The yak is on the heavy side but that is easily solved with a good cart. If your in the area you're more than welcome to take it for a spin. Don't think you can go wrong with this yak. Hope this helps.

I bought the Ride 115 and love it! offshore or inshore it does everything I need. I new to Yaking but this is a big improvement over my FST12T.
Tracks great and super sturdy. Was out in the gulf the past few weekends
and really enjoyed it.

We have demo models of both the 115 and the 135 here at Pensacola Kayak & Sail. Come on down and try them out. They are very stable and have high weight capacities.

Wilderness Systems changed the hull design of the Ride for the 2012 model. It is now a wider boat that is extremely stable. They also updated the seat to make it more comfortable, more adjustable, and removable.
