Perception Kayaks Carolina 140

For paddlers who want a stable, comfortable sit-in kayak with enough length to handle a wider range of conditions, the Carolina 140 steps up where the shorter Carolina 12.0 leaves off.

The extra two feet of hull make a noticeable difference in speed and efficiency, and that added length helps the Carolina 140 hold its line better in wind and mild chop, giving intermediate paddlers more confidence when conditions are less than ideal. Two inverted keels moulded into the hull aid tracking and contribute to the steady, secure feel that makes this kayak approachable for newer paddlers without feeling sluggish for those with more experience. At 53 lbs it's manageable to car-top and carry solo, which matters on those early morning launches when you're doing everything yourself.

The generously sized cockpit makes getting in and out easy, and the Zone Deluxe Seating System with six points of adjustment and quality padding means you can dial in your fit for all-day comfort on longer paddles. Bow and stern foam bulkheads provide dry storage for day trips and open up the possibility of overnight adventures on Ontario's backcountry lakes and rivers. Static perimeter lines with reflective piping and bungee deck rigging round out a well-considered package for the price. The Carolina 140 is also rudder-ready, contact us for details on having one installed.
