Perception Essence The Essence redefines sea kayak performance! By integrating the latest design technology it allows you to take your sea touring experiences to new levels whether you are an expert or developing your paddling skills. The advanced hull design is solid tracking yet manoeuvrable. A strong V-shaped bow and stern gives true directional stability and the defined chines further enhance control for smooth, predictable turns. A shallower profile under the cockpit provides good initial and secondary stability. Performance adapts to suit the conditions with our multi-position retractable skeg that is easily operated with the conveniently located adjuster.

This gives more space and forgiveness for average to large paddlers and carries heavier loads without compromising on its handling abilities.

Snugger ergonomics allow for close control and also give a great fit for smaller paddlers. 16: Length 500cm, Width 57cm, Weight 25kg, Maximum Load 150kg 17: Length 518cm, Width 58cm, Weight 26kg, Maximum Load 160kg Price from: £999.00 Spec Standard (£999.00) With rudder (£1,150.00) Size Essence 16Essence 17 Colour WhiteRedYellowOrange
