I've had mine for about 3 weeks, same story great sale at Dicks. I love it! It handles like a dream, I find it easy to paddle and I don't have to work very hard even paddling into the wind. I have back issues and the seat is wonderful. I could sit in it all day without any discomfort. Considering the 14 foot model for the man of the house.

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. Rick

The information I got from Confluence Water Sports (they "own" Perception) was that the Rhythm 11 was formerly known as the Dagger Element 11.2. Go to Dagger's website, find the older catalogs from 2008, and you will see its pretty much the same kayak. I have the Rhythm 11, and its nice for its price. Light, easy to paddle and tracks good enough for what its intended for, recreational paddling :) On sale now at Dicks Sporting Goods for $399, hard to beat...

PERCETION SALES SAID THIS PRODUCT IS ONLY SOLD AT DICKS SORTING GOODS. CALLED THE RHYTHM ELEVEN. ::)

I recently purchased a 11 foot perception rythym kayak at Dicks Sporting Goods. I am also trying to find out moor about his model kayak but cannot find anything. If perception makes this kayak why is it not in there lineup of kayak models in there web site.hmmmm, anybody know.

I saw a Perception Rhythm 11 at Dicks Sporting Goods. The Rhythm 11 looks an awful lot like the Wildernesssyterms Pamlico 120. Could they be the samething??

i can't find anything on the rhythm 11 either. i live in syracuse ny and couldn't even find it in any of the places down here, i had to go up to watertown to dick's where my brother had bought two of them
