Perception Expression 11 Kayak - Deja Vu

Perception Expression 11 kayak - Deja Vu. Great condition. Just cleaned and waxed after 4 day trip on the River Wye Super stable and easy to paddle. Superb crossover between recreational and touring kayak. Big cockpit gives loads of confidence if just starting out and plenty of performance for an 11ft kayak.

Drop down skeg makes tracking simple. Adjustable footrests and thigh brace makes it really easy to get connected to the boat and hence easy to control. Adjustable DLX seat is very comfortable, even after 7 hours of paddling! We have used this for unsupported multiday river trips (take all our kit with us) and it hasn't caused a problem once. Selling with NRS bilge pump and unused (labels still on) TNP Asymmetric 2 Piece Paddle (Blue blades).

Also have a few other kayak related items for sale (see Other Items for Sale) Kayak is ready for the summer and will provide loads of fun to all levels of paddler. If you want to try it out before buying then I am based about 2 minute drive from one of the lakes at the Cotswold Water Park near Cirencester and would be happy to meet up for a test run. I am an instructor so might even be able to give you a quick lesson :) Collection only but happy to help you get it onto your car. Ideally just need a set of roof bars and either a J bracket or some surfboard pads + cam straps. All bungees/decklines are taut and in good condition.

It has the usual scratching on the underside (see photo) as the water level on the river was super low (and my brother in law not that light!). Skeg drops easily and everything is as it should be. Manufacturer's info: 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 maneuverability.

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.SpecificationsLength: 11'7" / 353cmWidth: 25.75"" / 65cmDeck Height: 14.5" / 37cmCockpit Length: 36" / 91cmCockpit Width: 20.25" / 51cmBoat Weight: 44lbs / 20kgsMaximum Capacity: 250lbs / 114kgFeatures Zone DLX Seat System*Special Order: Replace Zone DLX backrest with Zone EXP backbandZone Leg LiftersAdjustable Padded Thigh BracesAdjustable Pedal FootrestsLarge Oval Stern HatchStern BulkheadTruTrak Skeg SystemBungee Deck RiggingReflective Deck Safety LineRetractable Carry HandlesPerformance HullRudder CapableSuperlinear Polyethylene Shell
