Perception Expression 11 Kayak

This is my much loved Perception Expression 11 Kayak. I have used it for a couple of years now on lakes, rivers and sheltered coastal paddling. Extremely stable and easy to manoeuvre. This is the kayak I learned to roll in. Comes complete with spray deck.

There is also a Palm airbag which inflates in the nose of the kayak and helps in case of capsize. I have included a paddle float also, which was the one accessory which finally helped me to roll. The kayak is 3.5m long and I chose it because it fits inside my van. Obviously collection would be preferred although I can deliver in the southwest for petrol costs. I do travel further afield regularly so also possible to arrange to meet up somewhere.

The kayak has a few scrapes as is usual when launching off the beach and river bank but overall in very good condition. I also replaced the seat for a custom one which is far more comfortable and with a backrest that allows easy fitting of the spray deck. I am upgrading to a full on sea kayak, so time to move on. The website describes the kayak as below:- A sleek crossover between a recreational and touring kayak, the Expression 11 features a stable and manoeuvrable design that is built to handle a multitude of water environments - from lakes, ponds and bays, to slow rivers and mild coastal waters for the more experienced paddler. Designed with beginner to intermediate paddlers in mind, the Expression's paddling performance builds confidence and skill and is the ideal stepping stone into the world of touring.

The hull design of the Expression 11 is a perfect balance of overall stability without sacrificing manoeuvrability. The shorter length is more user-friendly for people who don't want to master a longer touring kayak. Other touring features include the TruTrak skeg system, adjustable padded thigh braces and an up-swept bow that helps shed water for a drier ride. The cockpit size is inviting and gives paddlers room to move freely, while the ergonomically engineered Zone outfitting provides the kind of comfort needed for a day on the water.
