RTM Tempo Sit-on-top Kayak

The RTM Tempo kayak is a near replica of the once popular Ocean Kayak Scupper pro - the only thing missing is the rudder! Like the Cobra Tourer and the Ocean Kayak Prowlers the hull shape of the Tempo really calls for a rudder because, unlike more manoeuvrable hull shapes like that of the RTM Disco and the DAG Midway, the Tempo is difficult to turn without a rudder.

Retro-fitting a rudder on the RTM Tempo has been requested of us but has proven to be difficult. Due to customer feedback we have decided to discontinue bringing in more of this model until such time as a rudder-version of the RTM Tempo is introduced. In the mean time we have a few of the angler version in stock which we will be selling for less 30%. These will be available at all our stores in NSW and QLD.
