Expression Perception Kayak

The Perception Expression 15 Kayak is equally at home on a scenic lake as it is in coastal swells. The Expression 15 is a bit bigger volume and length wise than the 14, designed for medium to larger size paddlers, or those who wish to carry mor equipment without altering the way the kayak handles on the water..The Perception Expression 15 boasts fast acceleration teamed with top manoeuvrability meaning that it’s perfect for the flatter days on the water as well as the bigger days in the surf. Its hull is a sharp V shape at the front and rear which tapers off towards the centre for added stability without losing the acceleration and tracking. The smooth rocker and rounded chines allow for agility and quick turns in the surf.As standard it comes with the TruTrak skeg system but is also rudder compatible. 2 large hatches mean that in the Expression can be used for a day out or an overnight stay with ample space for all your equipment.The Expression 15 is available with 2 different backrest types.

As standard it comes with the EXP backband which is the lower more traditional kind of backrest which doesn’t impede with use of any spraydeck. This is the more usual type to have in a sea kayak and offers increased connectivity with the kayak.The DLX backrest which is the higher of the 2 options is more suited to a relaxed recreational paddling style but does limit your choice when it comes to spraydecks as the backrest does sit higher than the cockpit rim. We have found it to be fine with a nylon deck or a neoprene deck with nylon waist. This is available fitted to the kayak at no extra cost but is a special order.
