Perception Carolina Series Kayaks



From beginners to experts.......
The Carolina 14 footer has served me for many, many miles of paddling on the Green and Colorado rivers. It is stable enough to kneel and access the gear in back while floating, or just kick back and let your feet dangle in river and watch the tamarisk drift by. Yet, it's aslo sleek enough that when the afternoon headwinds pickup, you'll get to camp before the bullfrogs start croakin' without doing any yourself. The only thing that I didn't like was that the bulkheads began leaking after about a year, but some silicone caulk has fixed that. It was probably from some off the rough roads I have bounced this boat down in the years of service it has given me.


The Go-To of kayaks
I've paddled a bunch of Carolinas and always have had fun in them. This boat is so versatile and easy to paddle. It's stable and it tracks well. It is made out of a durable plastic so I didn't worry about bashing it on rocks when pulling into shore. I like the hatches, store my food and extra clothes for day trips in there. My only complaint about this boat is that the cockpit seems a little small for someone that is 6 feet tall with long legs.
