Paddling Perfectoin's BreakSea kayak is not for the fainthearted. It's a New Zealand-designed, European-styled kayak that's fast and lively. Designed for local waters, it's quite a different beast to your typical Kiwi kayak.

The BreakSea is round-hulled with soft edges - this means lower primary stability, but great secondary stability - and it tracks nicely. It can be paddled with the rudder, and if you're keen, you can test your skills by leaving the rudder stuck onto the deck.

In fact, to get everything out of this kayak might be a true test of your capabilities. You might need a bit of time getting acquainted - and isn't that just what you were looking for in a lively kayak?

The BreakSea provides you with four generous compartments: a bow and stern compartment, with large openings for the bigger gear and those longer trips; and two conveniently located compartments easily accessible while paddling: a large day compartment right behind the cockpit, and a top-of-the-cockpit compartment for the smaller items.

The BreakSea is a sea-worthy kayak that can take you on the big rivers and the lakes, and it has the size and shape to surf incredibly well. Its light weight and size make it the excellent choice for both light and tall paddlers.
