Viking Tempo 2 Specialized Double Fishing Kayak is a one-of-a-kind tandem kayak designed for versatility, adventure, and performance. Whether you’re enjoying a recreational paddle, setting up for a serious fishing mission, heading offshore for game fish, exploring with hunting gear, or loading up for an expedition, the Tempo 2 adapts effortlessly to every scenario.

At 4.70 m long (15’5”) and 0.90 m wide (35.5”), with a capacity of 250 kg (550 lbs), it combines stability, comfort, and efficiency for both tandem and solo use. Unlike shorter doubles, the extended hull ensures paddlers never clash paddles, while still tracking beautifully under solo control.

Recommended Add-On: Rod Leash (Essential for Kayak Fishing)

💪 Built for paddlers who drop things.
One small wave, one slippery grip — and suddenly your fishing rod belongs to the ocean.

The Kayak and SUP Stainless Steel Rod Leash is designed to stop that from happening. Built with a marine-grade stainless steel core and a UV-resistant protective coating, it’s made to handle saltwater, sun, and sand — exactly where gear usually fails.

Keeps rods, paddles, nets, and tools safely attached
Lightweight, flexible, and fully saltwater-safe
Stretches when needed and retracts neatly to avoid deck clutter

🎣 Gear Tip: Clip your rod leash to a Viking nylon saddle, RAILBLAZA WebEye 30, or any secure D-ring mount for a clean and reliable setup.

Why we recommend it:
After 15+ years in the kayak fishing industry, we’ve seen it happen countless times — most anglers lose at least one rod before realising how essential a rod leash really is.

Simple, tough, and easy to forget you’re using — until the day it saves your rod.
