Great Kayak!
By justbrowsing
Perception Sport does not have a website, so for me, I couldn't find enough information before I decided to buy this kayak from Sportsman's Warehouse. Previously, I had a Dagger Cypress and loved how it tracked and handled on slow rivers and on calmer oceans. We wanted kayaks that would be great on flat water lakes as well as moving water. I was initially worried about the length being shorter as far as tracking, cargo capacity, etc, but I was sure wrong. My fiancé and I love this kayak! It handles small waves nicely, is easy to maneuver, is pretty stable for being so narrow and tracks well. The weight is definitely manageable for one person, and easy with two. Cargo space seems okay--we figured we could fit enough gear between the two of us for an overnight camping trip if we budgeted weight well. We have only taken them out a couple times on a large lake (calm one day, and wavy the next), and as soon as we take them on faster water, I will update this review. Recommended!

AWESOME FIRST KAYAK
By Paul Demoss
My friend went the cheap route with a $225 Pelican kayak. He took his out a few times before I was able to go with him. His is lighter, with a MUCH smaller bulkhead and sat ALOT lower in the water which made it much slower and harder to paddle. He's already purchased on of these for himself and given the other to his fiancee' who will use it probably twice a year. Kayak was very stable on lake Ponchartrain in 1.5 foot waves and great for getting over submerged logs in the bayous. Spend a few buck and get something nice!

Great Kayak, but not the best!
By Josh Thomas
This is my second Kayak. Bought it from Dicks Sporting goods for $250 less than the price on Amazon. To review:

Very comfortable. The seat is great and I love the Perception Sport style seats. They are adjustable except I have heard the seats make it hard to roll. I haven't learned this skill yet so I cannot testify to that. The watertight hatch in the back is plenty big. It is a little hard to get off but then again that is also a good thing, just not when your turned around and need something when your on the water.

My previous boat was flat on the bottom. This made it very impractical to go long distances, as I tried. This boat is more rounded, yet still stable enough to keep you dry. I would recommend getting a longer boat if you plan on going faster, but you will sacrifice stability and maneuverability. I have taken this boat twice on 14 mile trips. Due to the Indiana drought in 2012, this limited my time to use it as much as I wanted but the two trips were nice. Also a very good boat on the lake.

I would say this is a great beginners boat, as well as a great addition if you just want a shorter style boat. It's nice to have a variety of Kayaks to do a variety of things. If only you have a wife who will let you buy them, that is a major step.

The Kayak has foot rests. This helps you control the boat more. No Kayak holders but you can buy mounts to hold them if your that lazy to put it inside your boat.

Please don't spend $700 or even $600 on this boat. Go to a sporting store, sit in it, think about what your going to do with it, figure out where your going to go with it, how often, and get yourself a good kayak. This is definitely one of them.
