Best Value for a 12' rec kayak By sundancekid from Williamsburg, VA on 08/12/2008 Pros: Affordable, Comfortable, Compact, Easy Entry & Exit, Easy To Lift, Easy to Paddle, Good Maneuverability, Stable Best Uses: Day Trips, Flat Waters, Kayak Camping, Rivers, Rivers Reservoirs, Sounds Creeks Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Awesome boat for the money. I bought this b/c I was looking for an affordable rec boat that was at least 12' but still easy enough for me to load/unload by myself. Can't rave enough. The shape design is a little sleeker than most rec yaks and I think that gives it an edge in the water. People swear by the Pungo 120, but I find it hard to believe that it could outperform the Sundance. Just two drawbacks: It needs a better seat and a cupholder. Other than that I'm lovin' it.

Stable, fast, tracks great with rudder on open water.
Have been paddling for a few years - mostly renting for day trips - and I was looking for my first boat to help develop skills and confidence.
Very happy with this purchase - this boat will keep me challenged for some time to come.

Nice Boat for Class II Water By Brad from Tulsa on 05/23/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Easy to Paddle, Stable Best Uses: Flat Waters, Rivers Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Dry storage is not so dry.
By "The Kernel" from Beaufort, SC on 12/11/2007 Pros: Comfortable, Easy Entry & Exit, Easy To Lift, Easy to Paddle, Good Maneuverability Best Uses: Day Trips, Flat Waters, Kayak Camping, Rivers Describe Yourself: Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like Perception boats. I have another very similar to this new one except it has no rudder. My spouse and I do extensive creek, river and open water (inland) kayaking in the rivers and estuaries of Coastal Carolinas and Georgia. Occasionally camp over night. The boat is easy to carry, transport and launch. Rudder is especially useful in cross winds on big open water or when crossing a rapidly moving tidal flow. Plenty of storage for the uses that we have. All in all a great boat for the money and 'deal' at time of purchase.
