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.
