Modern Paddler, Meet the Perception Companion Kayak: the innovative Prodigy 13.5.
You want to go kayaking and bring your little (or large) dog, too – ask and you shall receive! The Prodigy 13.5 rounds out the Prodigy series with a kayak that is not a single or double seater, but a seat-and-a-half. The unique, over-sized cockpit and adjustable stadium-style seat is ideal for carrying different loads, whether that load is a dog, a child or just a lot of extra gear. The industry's first true companion kayak is simple yet flexible, just the way busy lifestyles need it to be.
Unparalleled adjustability is key for the Prodigy 13.5. While many so-called family and dog friendly kayaks are actually compromised tandem hybrids, the Prodigy 13.5 is designed specifically for the ‘companion' purpose. The large, versatile cockpit and seating system can be trimmed down for a comfortable solo trip and then easily adjusted for varying loads. Kids can position however they like in the cockpit with the new removable kid's seat with adjustable backrest. The stadium-styled half seat is slightly elevated, so dogs and kids can soak up the view as well. And an added bonus: the performance hull is built for stability, so you can adjust and move around on the fly and stay dry, too.
Paddling best in calm, open water like lakes, ponds and inlets, the Prodigy 13.5 is designed for the family person looking to experience the outdoors with a child or a pet. The large cockpit also makes this kayak great for large solo paddlers or any paddler needing to carry additional gear for fishing or camping.
