If you are in the market for a new boat, take a look at Perception kayaks. An industry leader, Perception has pioneered the use of new hull materials and state of the art outfitting systems in their recreational, sea and whitewater kayaks, and they offer a boat design to match almost every conceivable paddling application.

Anyone who has been around kayaking for any length of time will be familiar with the Perception name. If not, this company has been building quality boats since the 1970s, when it was formed by a small group of dedicated paddlers in the US. Perception is an innovator in hull design and use of new materials. Exolar, their exclusive new hull material, is a very high-density resin, extremely stiff and impact resistant. Perceptions Airalite hulls are as light and tough as kevlar, but at a plastic price.

Even novice paddlers will appreciate the Perception range of kayaks for their light weight, fast hulls, excellent tracking, and stability in the water. Ideal for beginners for that feeling of security and comfort even on their first time out. With cockpits designed for easy entry and exit, the recreational and touring models have large storage capacity and secure hatches. The whitewater boats are very quick and highly stable, and the match of almost any class of rapids.
