    • NOW PLAYING

    Whether you take it for a fun flatwater jaunt or a longer tour, the Perception Expression 11.5 kayak will have you tackling greater distances with more confidence.

    • Designed for those ready to expand their skills, the Expression 11.5 effectively bridges the gap between a fun, maneuverable day-tripping kayak and a predictable touring model
    • 11 ft. 7 in. model is lighter, more maneuverable, and easier to handle than its 15 ft. counterpart, and it's much easier to load on top of your car
    • Rigid polyethylene hull withstands years of use without the need for maintenance
    • Very stable, touring-style hull offers excellent versatility; great for those seeking a boat for everything from light ocean swells to local lakes
    • Peaked deck and upswept bow sheds water quickly and enhances speed, and progressive rocker enhances handling
    • Added room in the cockpit and thighbraces enhance confidence in beginning paddlers
    • Zone DLX seat features a foam-encased pocket that cradles the lower back
    • Seat back adjusts forward and backward and up and down; leg lifters offer additional support if needed
    • Backrest may be raised by pulling strap in front of seat forward or by pushing the button on front of seat to lower
    • Leg lifters raise seat pan to increase support and take pressure of the ankles
    • Padded foam thighbraces may be repositioned to personalize cockpit for performance or comfort
    • Slidelock footbraces are easy to adjust from inside the boat; simply raise the black plastic rod to unlock and slide footbrace into desired position
    • Fully bulkheaded stern hatch provides dry cargo storage
    • Cockpit-deployable skeg enhances tracking in rough water and windy conditions; sliding skeg controls are located on left side of cockpit
    • Deck rigging on bow and stern lets you stash items you'll want readily available such as a bilge pump, extra paddle and map with weatherproof case, all not included
    • Soft-to-the-touch carry handles at bow and stern make trips from the water easy; unlike hard, plastic handles, the soft-touch handles are easy on cold, paddle-weary hands
    • Perception Expression 11.5 kayak with skeg weighs approximately 44 lbs.

    Made in USA.
