    • Stable and Fast
Pattern Name: Kayak Color: Earth
Great Kayaks. Bought one for my 6 foot tall son and one for myself 5’8. Perfect size for both of us. Stable, large sitting cabin, and super fast (and I’m an old lady). Recommend.

    • Best sit-in kayak for the money
As a newly active kayak paddler, the Perception Flash is good choice for me. Lightweight and easy to transport for one person. I am a fairly large adult and I fit comfortably in the seat and the adjustable foot stops are easy to adjust. One of the best features is the under-deck area for storage and additional leg room for those of us with bad knees. Having the adjustable seat back was a plus and a great simple design. It is just long enough that I can turn quickly in shallow waters with no problem. I use it on calm, coastal waters in Florida and it is wide enough that it doesn’t feel tippy. It fits nicely in my truck bed for hauling and I think the molded in handles make more sense when carrying it. This is a great value for leisure boaters like me. ... show more

    • Perception Flash ... life changes at every paddle!
Pattern Name: Kayak Color: Sunset
This boat is delightful. Found it easy to paddle in and out of my Honda element it fits tight from the dashboard to the tailgate . lets just say it doesn't move at all ! Gave it 4 because I found the seat uncomfortable but I put my life vest behind me. I was going to return it .. they offered me a nice discount so I kept it. I took it out on a reservoir sunday and was very windy. Of course tracking sucks in the wind but was very controllable and fun. I love paddling into the wake of the wind waves! .. I appreciate the shelf in front for my water bottle. The foot rests could be a little sturdier they feel like they are going to break. I've paddled 5 times now. I just picked up a Perception Swifty used for a second boat on hand and it handles very similar but doesn't have the front deck to put things .. and I don't fish has no pole holes. I have to say I like kayaking. Also just picked up an old otter by Old Towne one of my other favorite kayaks. Currently I have a small fleet ...now lets get the weather to cooperate! Enjoy* be Safe* If you're not a seasoned paddler I wouldn't recommend going out in windy conditions . I happen to enjoy paddling hard! ps 73yr old female in Pennsylvania! ... show more

We love this kayak for its thoughtful construction, light weight and stability (stability based on other's reviews, we haven't gotten it out on the water yet). The first kayak we ordered was received with some pretty hefty damage I can only imagine happened in shipping. The return process was a bit of a pain, but the new one arrived in good condition (the rear foam block was dislodged but I'm working on getting it back in place). I wish Amazon could have sent a new one without the third party return hassle, but I can understand with the awkward size and price why they can't. Overall we are very satisfied with this purchase. ... show more

    • More Stable Than other Options

Great value in a kayak - I use it on Long Island Sound and have found this kayak to be more stable than other kayaks I have bought through Amazon.
