Perception Essence

 

The Perception Essence Sea Kayak has been designed using the latest technology to allow expert and novice kayakers to push their sea touring experiences to new levels. The Essence has a good V entry and exit allowing for definitive tracking and good cruising speed whilst a shallow V profile under the cockpit helps to increase the essences initial stability.

 

The Essence has defined chines to make every turn predictable and smooth whilst on edge and it also features a fully adjustable skeg system which allows you to adapt to whatever conditions you decide to paddle in.

 

The Essence features everything you would expect from a Sea Kayak of this size, a comfortable seat and cockpit setup with adjustable thigh braces and foot pedals, 3 storage hatches including a small day hatch behind the seat aswell as the normal setup of deck lines and carry handles. The Essence is availabled in 2 sizes to suit a large range of sea kayakers, the Essence 16 and Essence 17 and both models are available with a rudder.

Delivery

We offer a delivery service for the Perception Essence throughout the UK & Ireland to home and work addresses.

Delivery times are estimates based on years of experience; we do not offer a guaranteed timed delivery service. Our overnight service works well for the core more densely populated areas of the UK for Clothing and Equipment orders. However more remote less densely populated areas will not be covered by a next day service.

Delivery of canoes and kayaks is classed as “ugly freight” because mechanical handling and automatic parcel processing cannot be used; therefore a delivery time of 3-5 working days is more realistic. For remote location that delivery time will be dependent on the local courier’s ability to onward ship the goods. Not all areas of the UK are serviced by vehicles that can handle canoes and kayaks. Online orders can be tracked online using the courier’s website – tracking details will be provided. We make every effort to deliver goods within the estimated time scales.

The delivery price will be shown in the shopping basket.
