Perception Expression 14.5 Kayak with TruTrak Skeg - For the adventure-seeker who wants the best of both day touring and expeditions, the Expression 14.5 by Perception is a fun, maneuverable kayak that remains stable and predictable when loaded down with gear. The up-swept bow and peaked deck allow the Expression 14.5 to shed water quickly, providing more speed and performance than the typical touring kayak. In addition, the progressive rocker offers maneuverable handling so you can paddle confidently in tight, technical waters and coastlines. The TruTrak skeg keeps the Expression 14.5 moving straight and tracking true. The hydrofoil shape cuts efficiently through water, and retracts into a water-tight housing when not in use. The Zone Deluxe Seating system is ergonomically engineered to provide a comfortable fit. Adjustable leg support eases pressure on hips and legs, while the height-adjustable backrest and snug wrap-around wings help you dial-in to the perfect fit for all-day comfort on the water. Whether you're heading out for a day or a week, the Perception Expression 14.5 kayak is ready for the adventure.
Since giving up on longer sea kayaks I've been after a shorter tourer that performs like a sea kayak. I've just got myself an Expression 14. The build quality is superb. The seat has a leg lifter and the thigh braces are adjustable. The skeg is a rope type affair with spring loaded mechanism; I thought I would prefer a wire skeg but this system is simpler and if you ground with the skeg down the blade just springs back up into the skeg box. On the water the kayak is responsive and fun, fast, easy to turn but easy to keep straight as well. I've surfed some small waves and this kayak is fun, the last few outings have been in quite choppy confused conditions, the kayak is super steady and stable without feeling like a barge, the bow rides over most of the chop keeping you dry. In wind the kayak doesn't seem to have any real tendency to weathercock. I've only found the skeg useful in quartering seas where the kayak has a tendency to broach, but most kayaks do in these conditions. I like the simple 2 hatch design; I can get my cart in the stern hatch without having to take it apart. I feel i have finally found my ideal kayak with this one and look forward to many years of enjoyment.

You can just tell by the lines on this boat that it paddles like a dream. I had it out for a surfing session and found that it cut through the chop like any other longer high performance sea kayak. It was so fun! This is a really comfortable boat with seating and thigh braces that makes you feel comfortable and stable. I highly reccomend this boat to anyone who wants a shorter boat but doesn't want to give up the performance of thier touring boat.
