The Tribe 9.5 is a sit-on-top kayak from Perception. It has a new high-back, framed seatback with a padded seat and infinitely adjustable recline positions. Molded footrests fit paddlers of multiple sizes.
Open storage areas at the front and rear have bungee lashing to secure gear. A center hatch holds small items like keys and a wallet, and a sealed dry bag is recommended for waterproof protection. Scupper holes drain water while the boat stays buoyant. Scupper plugs are sold separately.
The kayak is lightweight and fully stackable. It has rigid one-piece side carry handles with lockable storage, plus front and rear toggle handles. A solo mount recess lets you add mounts or an accessory holder without drilling. Mounts and holders are sold separately. It is suited to light surf, lazy rivers and flat water.
