Of all the Perception boats I've paddled, and I think I've paddled at least all the plastic "sea kayaks", the Vizcaya is my least favorite. I felt that the low volume in the bow made it unecessarily tippy. I don't mind tippy boats but if it's going to be tippy at least it could be reasonably fast or manoeverable and I thought it was sub par on both accounts. I haven't noticed this in all the Perception boats but they all use a similar seat that I felt had me sitting too high. Try the Corona, Shadow, or Eclipse instead if your heart is set on a Perception kayak. I think they're much nicer boats. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 19 2000 - 17:44:10 PDT
