Testing the NEW Perception Expression Kayak

Last Friday we had a visit from Matt of Perception Kayaks at Canoe & Kayak UK Towers. Matt was here to talk about lots of cool things fro 2011, but he also had the first two Expression touring kayaks strapped on to his snazzy looking Team Perception/Wave Sport van. Matt had brought them up so we could do an exclusive test on them. After a warming coffee to fortify us against the Baltic conditions we climbed aboard Matt's van and headed for the River Welland. As we got changed in to our boating kit the wind was like razors, but it takes more than that to stop us boating. The water was icy but right from the off it was obvious that the Perception backroom design bods had put in some serious time on the Expression. We paddled off in to a stiff head wind and there was no hint of weather-cocking what so ever and it was quick and lively. I'm not going to go in to loads of detail because you can read the full 'First Look' Tried & Tested report in issue 119 of Canoe & Kayak UK, but I will say that I'm looking forward to getting out in the Expression again soon.
