Perception Kayaks Tribe 9.5 Sit on Top Recreational Kayak

The Perception Tribe series of versatile sit-on-top kayaks is defined by its ultra-stable yet quick and playful performance, making it a fun choice for paddlers of all ability levels. This do-it-all design excels on flat water, including coastal bays and beaches with light waves. A tried-and-true favorite, the Tribe kayak inspires skills and confidence, introducing many to a new way of staying active on the water.

Comfort is everything when kayaking, which is why the Tribe offers high-end features like the Comfort Seating System. This premium seating has thick, ventilated padding and an adjustable seatback that reclines forward or backward for customized support. The seatback also folds flat, enabling stackable storage. Multiple footrest options accommodate paddlers of various sizes, ensuring a comfortable paddling position.

The Tribe's cutting-edge design provides exceptional speed and maneuverability, along with added stability that keeps you drier than comparable sit-on-top models. Its sleek hull tracks straight yet turns on a dime, making the kayak easy to control as your skills progress. Offered in three sizes, the Tribe's speed, storage capacity, and stability increase with each model. The 13.5-foot tandem version can accommodate two paddlers (and a small pet) while still being a blast to paddle solo.

Engineered for safety, the Tribe offers built-in buoyancy and stability, allowing you to focus on having fun. Spacious front and rear compartments include bungee cord lashes to secure cooler or gear bags of any shape or size. A molded-in cup holder and center hatch with a built-in bag and protective lid keep essentials handy. Molded-in carry handles provide lockable security points for car-top transportation and outdoor storage.

Durability is a hallmark of all Perception kayaks, including the Tribe. Its high-density polyethylene and one-piece roto-molded construction provide exceptional UV, impact, and abrasion-resistance. An easily replaceable skid plate offers additional protection when dragging your gear-loaded kayak to the water.

Optional accessories like Harmony Scupper Stoppers, the Perception Universal Paddle, and the Perception Paddle Leash enhance the Tribe's comfort, performance, and convenience. The scupper plugs enable more comfortable cold-weather paddling or a drier ride. The fiberglass-reinforced paddle delivers a balance of lightweight and durability, with a dihedral blade shape for smooth, stable, and flutter-free strokes. The adjustable paddle leash securely tethers your paddle, fishing rod, or other accessories, keeping them close at hand.

With its adjustable framed seat, multiple molded footrests, large storage areas, open deck, and multiple carry handles, the Perception Tribe kayak redefines fun on the water for the entire family. Its versatility, comfort, stability, and durability make it a tried-and-true favorite that has introduced countless paddlers to a whole new way of staying active.
