Percept Tribe 9.5 —

Perceptions Tribe 9.5 is the smallest of the three Tribe sit on top kayaks family. The short (9.5 foot or 2.9 metre) long tribe has a lot of volume making it capable of easily carrying even larger paddlers as well as keeping keeping them dry, stable and comfortable with raised bottom. The lowered feet position with secure comfortable defined footrests make all day paddling comfortable. The best in class side handles make lifting and manoeuvring the kayak out of the water a breeze. This latest version further improves comfort with the comfortable backrest great on even the hottest days.
