Perception Expression 11.5 | Sit Inside Kayak | Light Touring Kayak with Adjustable Zone Seating | 11' 6"

At least for beginners, make sure to get an internal float bag for the bow and practice capsize recovery in shallow water.So far this thing is fantastic. I was not sure how much the retractable skeg would help but after taking on open waters on a windy day am very glad I have one!

Terrible communication between Amazon and CEVA , which is a courier for delivery large items like kayak. CEVA sets delivery appointment or cancel it without Amazon knowing that! First delivery that was set on February 6, 2021 failed and after multiple calls to Amazon and CEVA, I set the appointment on February 22, 2021. The is far away from being hassle free purchase! At the end, the kayak was received damaged! From picture taken on received kayak, there are indications of not original factory packaging. Most likely it was returned, and I wouldn't be surprised for the same reason of being damaged and resold to me. Awful experience! Took a picture of kayak damaged and barcode serial number and requested replacement. Hope to receive a brand new kayak, not a return item.

Well packed to protect the vessel; all components intact; Bill of Sale document was included w manufacturers hull ID number and date of fabrication. Arrived in brand new condition with zero scratches or damage. The saw other reviews complaining about no instruction booklet coming with the boat. Anyone with basic familiarization of kayaking would not need written instructions. Nevertheless - the easy solution is to go online and download all the literature you might want or need. From my perspective it’s a great kayak - properly delivered.

We did a lot of research before buying our kayaks and it certainly paid off. Love it! Even though I’m only 5 foot tall, this is the perfect size for me!

We got two of these kayaks last week and have been out on flat water twice already. The skeg works fantastically well for paddling in crosswinds. Lots of nice adjustments including how the seat angle can be changed, even while in the water. Great stylish coloring, looks just like the pictures you see here, makes us distinctive from other yaks on the water.We're looking forward to getting many years and adventures out of these.

Kayak is nice, but it was not packaged well for shipping. The bottom is pushed in and I have to keep standing inside it to push it down. No booklet was included with the kayak either. Went online to read how to use skeg.

Kayak arrived in a reasonable amount of time without a single scratch. Everything was Packaged well.As for the kayak itselfPros - very comfortable seat, thigh braces give you a more connected feel to the boat, tracks nicely, and It’s aesthetically nice looking boatCons - the rubber made Tupperware style storage seal isn’t easiest to put back on.

The kayak ordered was not at all like the kayak received. Different model, 2 1/2 feet shorter, much wider. Pretty much a $200 Walmart kayak received (Paid $800).
