Heritage Kayaks Pisgah 14 Kayak - 2008

If you're looking for a kayak that slips quietly and smoothly across lakes, rivers, and calm ocean waters, grab the Heritage Kayaks Pisgah 14 Kayak. The shallow V hull design provides straight tracking, while a progressive bow-to-stern rocker (the bow and stern rise out of the water a little—like a rocking chair) makes this kayak easy to turn. The Pisgah 14 Kayak's flexy backband supports your lumbar region throughout the day, and the adjustable thigh braces keep your legs comfortable. Store maps and snacks in the watertight bow and stern bulkheads.

Bottom Line: Get a smooth, swift ride with Heritage Kayaks' Pisgah 14-foot Kayak.

The shorter touring boat for rivers and wind

By:
September 26, 2008

This sport touring boat excels on moving water and loves hauling gear to camp. It seems to become more stable the more gear you load it with. It has some rocker which makes it easy to negotiate some current and eddies, dodge rocks, turn in the wind, and waves. The added rudder (not everyone needs it) will help increase tracking ability on the flat stretches. Those wanting a more sporty kayak for turning, maneuvering for lakes and rivers will like this boat.

Bought both of mine with the rudders installed. It's about $200 more but rudders are really needed if you don't want to correct every other stroke in a wind or current. The rudders on my 14s are somewhat different in type and how connected to the boat. You could do it yourself but worth it both cost and effort to buy the boat with it in place. Remember it's not just the rudder you are dealing with but also the foot control mountings on the shell, cables and rudder raise and lower controls. Take a look at your local kayak place. You will see what I mean. Paddle on!

Liquid Logic Problems

By:
April 1, 2008

I ordered a PISGAH 14 on the advice of a friend. The service from this site is terrific. They are a 4.0 group of folks doing a fabulous job!! The PISGAH 14 I received was defective. The seat locking mechanism was riveted into the incorrect position. This is a flaw that even the most primitive quality control would have caught. No more Liquid Logic/Heritage boats for me. The PISGAH is garage junk.

Great Boat

By:
July 31, 2008

This is my first experience with a kayak, and I really enjoy this boat.
I took it on a 4 day kayaking trip loaded with gear, and it was wonderful. The seat with which it is equipped was extremely supportive-not one muscle complained-ever! I have used this on small and large rivers, and it's great on both. It maneuvers very easily. I really like the storage, although one of them has a small leak. I have already called the dealer. I highly recommend this boat!

I am not positive, but I think I read that it was 350#. I just purchased a Pisgah in Aug. and I love it. It has plenty of storage and all my friends keep saying they can not believe how quiet it is in the water. It just glides, doesn't push. I felt a little wobbly at first, but the secondary stability is great. I can lean it without fear of tipping.

Liquid Logic Problems

Thomas, If you'd gone to a dealer and actually seen what you were buying this wouldn't have happened.Did you contact the manufacturer about it? Did you realize that maybe Backcountry is buying blems and selling them as 1st quality boats? Did Backcountry help you out on the problem?
