The New Perception Tribe: It's a Family Thing

Sep 01, 2009

Perception continues the heritage of family fun on the water with the new Tribe series of stackable, sit on top (SOT) kayaks. The Tribe is about easy care, ease of use, and good times, all the way down to the bright color options. But don’t mistake low maintenance for low performance. This SOT is equally comfortable surfing ocean waves or cruising lakes and lazy rivers.

Check out the family landing page here.



What sets it apart: Value and ease are not exclusive of performance in this playful series. It is a great fit for the discerning price-conscious paddler or an entire family, from beginners to veterans. And to the joy of storage-challenged folks everywhere: they stack!

Key Features:

Speedy and easy to paddle
Comfortable with an ergonomic design that keeps feet at body level, rather than an awkward angle
Self-bailing scupper tubes for a drier ride
Stackable up to four kayaks, making the Tribe perfect for small storage areas for multiple boats
Durably-built with few moving parts to wear out
Set for a day of adventure with bow and stern storage tankwells, outfitted with bungee rigging
Bow and stern handles for easy carrying
Stern skid plate protects the rear keel
13.5 model features three-seat configuration for up to two adults and small child or family pet
