Overview
Perception designed the Access as a longer recreational kayak with a molded high-back seat for support. Several molded handles make it easier to carry to the water, and the hull is polyethylene in the Mystic color.
The reason to look at it is the easy-going design for lazy water, with a supportive seat and handles for moving it. The limitation is the whitewater category label, since the description limits it to light surf and flat water.
Who it's for
Recreational paddlers who want a single seat boat for calm outings and easy carrying. Whitewater paddlers and those hauling heavy loads should look elsewhere, as the listing says nothing about capacity.
Pros and cons
- Molded high-back seat
- Several molded carry handles
- Defect warranty on hull and deck
- Weight capacity not listed
- Paddle absent from included list
- Not for whitewater despite category label
Performance notes
A longer hull tracks straighter on flat water, and the molded seat back supports the paddler over a long session. Polyethylene is molded plastic, so it tolerates scrapes at launch spots. Light surf and lazy rivers are the conditions the description names.
