  • Beautiful kayak
Color: Dapper
I love the lighter weight of this kayak. Upgraded from a expression 11.5. Storage compartment covers are tight to get on. But hoping with use they will become easier. A few very minor scuffs to the hull during shipment and a broken button tack for padding are my current complaints. I do wish they came with rudder pre installed for better tracking. ... show more

  • Broken foot pedal
Color: Dapper
One of the foot pedals broke and the manufacturer is not getting in touch to replace.

  • I love this kayak!
Color: Sunset
So happy with this purchase! The Perception Carolina 12 is lightweight enough for my 5’0” frame to lift, maneuvers well in the water, and is a good crossover/hybrid option. I can tell it was manufactured with care and that it’s a quality kayak. There is also ample storage, and the seat was very comfortable. It’s perfect for the Minnesota and Wisconsin lakes and Mississippi River sloughs that I live near. ... show more

  • Foot brace installed wrong at the factory
Color: Sunset
Potentially a nice kayak, but how sloppy can you get in manufacturing?! The right foot brace is installed 12" offset from the left.

  • What I want and need
Color: Dapper
This is my second Carolina and a downsize due to (my) age but keeps a life of 68 cruising along.

  • Great performance kayak
Color: Sunset
It's a great kayak. The seat is a bit too stiff . I need to use an extra cushion when I go out.
