Perception Expression 15

The Perception Expression 15 is at home paddling on idyllic inland waterways or the extensive UK coastline. With a long waterline, and a smooth rocker the Expression is an efficient kayak for paddling longer distances and has the agility and speed you need for playing in lively conditions too.   A distinct V-shape at both nose and tail cuts through choppy water very well and the flared bow rides over groundswell nicely. A gentle profile along the centre line of the boat provides excellent stability and soft rounded chines make transitions from edge to edge smooth and give this boat surprising agility for its length. The Expression 15 is ideal for average- to large-size paddlers, and carries heavier loads without compromising handling abilities.

If you are looking for a slightly livelier and more nimble ride the might be worth looking at. The lower volume ergonomics of the 14 give a great fit for more lightly built paddlers. The Expression 15 is outfitted with Perception's Zone EXP back band, an adjustable leg lifter to reduce leg fatigue along with contoured padded seat and padded thigh braces which minimise pressure on the common pressure points without sacrificing on required grip for control. With sealed bulkheads providing good sized storage at both bow and stern, the Expression 15 can be comfortably loaded up with a full expedition kit and used for multi-day journeys. A drop down skeg is easily deployed to enhance performance in  adverse conditions.

Deck bungees will enable you to store a spare set of split paddles and add a deck bag should you need to.
