    Offering a touch more speed and greater tracking than its 12 ft. counterpart, the Perception Carolina 14.0 kayak offers the capacity and performance to go on longer trips.

    • V-shaped hull with soft chines makes the Perception Carolina 14.0 kayak stable and easy to paddle in relatively calm waters
    • Upswept, flared bow improves handling while crossing waves
    • Rigid polyethylene hull withstands years of use without need for maintenance
    • Zone DLX seat features a foam-encased pocket that cradles the lower back
    • Seat adjusts forward and backward, up and down, and 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 off the ankles
    • Knee pads allow you to place knees inside cockpit or outside without discomfort
    • Foot-pedal-controlled rudder system with cockpit deployment controls helps with steering and tracking when you need it most
    • Great for day trips or overnight adventures, the 10 in. bow and oval stern hatches provide access to dry storage space for fishing supplies, picnic staples and camping gear
    • Dual-density hatch covers are stiff and durable, yet their soft, flexible edges make them easy to use; plus, they form a tight seal to keep contents dry
    • To seal hatch cover, simply catch the lip under the rim and press it on like the top of a rubberized food-storage container
    • Bow and stern bulkheads help keep hatch contents organized and dry when hatches are sealed
    • 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, not included
    • Reflective perimeter deck lines boost visibility and provide a firm handhold for reentering kayak after a wet exit
    • 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

    Made in USA.
