The Shadow is a big expedition boat for smaller paddlers. All of Perception's advantages are here: a long, slender shape for speed and paddling ease, upswept bow with reserved volume to slice through and lift over the roughest seas, and a modified V-hull with soft chines for straight tracking and easy turning. And they are all wrapped up in one of the lightest plastic expedition kayaks made. Perception lowered the cockpit rim on the Shadow to allow efficient paddling angles for shorter torsos. ALSO AVAILABLE IN ARAMID FIBER (see PER0003). What's the difference? Aramid Fiber is a fraction of the weight of Roto Molded Plastic making AF boats MUCH faster and easier to transport; however, Roto Molded Plastic is more durable than Aramid Fiber.

Winter Kayaking in my new Perception Shadow
Last Saturday morning was cold and rainy, but I took my new kayak out for the first time on a lake near my house. The water was very cold, but the neoprene seat cover kept my bum warm. The yak cut through the water like a knife. Very easy paddling, very manuverable and great for an enjoyably early morning glide across the lake. I had a smile on my face for hours afterwards....that hasn't happened since I broke up with my boyfriend last March. ;o) In addition, I was able to load and unload the boat onto my SUV by myself, and I'm not big burly girl.
Can't wait to try the new YAK!
It is truly a beauty! I sat in my new kayak that day it arrived, albeit while still on my back deck. I was going to break it in when the weather warms up again in the spring, but now I am thinking I need to try some winter paddling. Can you recommend any good wet-suits? :o)
