    • 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

    • Kayak damaged when received.

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

Very durable single molded construction. The solid handle is very sturdy and the back storage access is convenient. Seat is comfortable, cockpit has plenty of room and the foot rests are easy to adjust and sturdy. Very happy with my purchase, worth every dollar.

I’ve had a perception tandem kayak in the past that I really liked, so decided to buy these to ride around the canal. They are a lower model than I had before but perfect for a relaxing day on the water. These boats turn nicely and are very stable. They don’t have a dry storage at all, the boat opens up completely. That’s why I’am not giving 5 stars, it did advertise a dry storage. If you’re spending long days on the river I would get something different but for casually going out on lakes or canals this kayak is perfect. Also the color is great very bright mostly green, not blue; it stands out well in the water. ... show more

    • Beloved kayak lost in hurricane flood
Pattern Name: Kayak Color: Sunset
I recently lost my beloved LL Bean kayak in a flood in western NC thanks to Hurricane Helene. The kayak was a Perception kayak very similar to this one. Same color too. It’s an excellent recreational use kayak that won’t set you back $1,000 plus a $115 shipping fee as a Prime Member. I feel sad I lost my precious kayak but look forward to making good memories with this one. ... show more

    • Great recreational kayak!

Like many others this year, I decided to jump on the kayak craze during the quarantine. Due to the shortage of kayaks available, I purchased the first one I could find. After receiving my Lifetime Emotion 10'3" kayak, I discovered that not all kayaks are the same. After launching, I quickly realized that I needed a larger open cockpit to accommodate my size and my dog. The Perception Flash 9.5 is perfect for my needs. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver, easy to get in and out of, and has plenty of room for my gear. The dash has a built-in water bottle holder and space for my phone, etc. Best of all, it is corgi approved! ... show more

    • Nice little kayak
I like the size for rivers. Light weight to transport I would have given it a 5 except the handles looked like they were cracked and fixed. I like the quality of perception kayaks and trust that it will still hold well when carried.

    • so much storage
Pattern Name: Kayak Color: Earth
i really wanted a touring kayak but didn't want to pay double to triple the cost. this kayak can do it all. has a drain plus, adjustable foot rest, super wide cockpit. but more importantly i can do storage behind the seat, and storage by the feet (so i plan to use it like a touring kayak). Unlike a touring kayak where storage by the feet is at max a 5 l drybag; in this kayak i am confident i could put a 20 l drybag cooler without any feet issue. what the kayak pics don't show is there is bungie straps at both the bow and stern that aren't shown (pics only show a single bungie by the cockpit organizer) so one less thing i need to do. weight wise it is the same as a single touring kayak or slightly lighter. i am a 5'1" female and can easily lift the kayak. only bad thing is no bulkhead to separate the cockpit from the bow or stern storage - perception does have a kayak that adds an aft bulkhead, but it adds 11 lbs to total kayak weight. ... show more
