    Dagger Alchemy Touring Kayak Review

    Perception Expression 11 Recreation & Touring Kayak Review

    The Perception Expression 11 Touring Kayak is a piece of great kayak design, pure and simple. We enjoyed every minute of our time paddling it. It is fast enough to get some solid miles under the hull, and has the capacity to carry kit, if you want to and so will have real appeal to aspiring touring paddlers looking to do longer trips.

    Prijon Poseidon Tandem Sea Kayak Review

    As a sea kayak, the Prijon Poseidon leaves some things to be desired. As a general touring kayak though, even for multi-day camping trips, it excels. A great all-rounder, that doesn't quite hit the mark for the more chaotic conditions of the sea.
