Perception Carolina 12.0 Kayak
June 19, 2009
I bought one of these at Dicks because the price was marked wrong and I got it at a pretty good discount. It has lots of leg room, a *very* nice seat and at about 40 lbs is actually lighter than my 10 foot Equinox 124. The only real issue I have with it is that it doesn't track worth a durn! If you are paddling on quiet water with no wind, then it is not too hard to keep going straight. But if you have anything that makes the nose move off point, then it tends to turn hard to that side. I have to paddle very hard to get it back on track. If I get the nose off point and paddle moderately on just that one side, it will never get back on course, but will continue to hold the new course! This can be very tiring since you have to strain your muscles to keep this kayak going straight with any wind or wave.
