Profile

Neither I or my husband had ever kayaked until we vacationed in St Thomas one year and the hotel had them for guests to use. We liked it so much we started shopping around, read reviews on paddling.net and decided we wanted a Perception Tribe. We went with the 9.5 because they're a size & weight we (in our 70s) can handle. We love them! They're sturdy, they glide through the water on a straight path, they're wide enough to be stable and they look good. We love the molded-in handles and sleek lines. Our friends have a different type and ours look so much classier and handle so much better. Had them 3 years now and they look great and we still love them as much as ever.
