   The kayak is a Christmas gift to my wife. She loves it. It has a large cockpit for easy entrance and exit. It has a nice console to hold a water bottle, cell phone, and other accessories. It has pre-drilled holes for adding additional attachments such as a fishing rod, a fish finder device, and more. I had a Perception Prodigy 10 (a decade old kayak) which is similar in design, but doesn’t have the amenities of the Joyride 10. Therefore, I sold my Prodigy 10 and purchased another Joyride for myself. It’s nice to know that these kayaks are totally made in the USA – Greenville, SC.

   Well worth it. This kayak is a bit heavier than other kayaks I’ve used, but it is well built. I like the carrying handles. They are sturdy, and can be used to lock up your kayak if need be. The back compartment is large, and completely waterproof. Foot holds are easily adjustable. My only issue is that the is no drain plug. I solved that easily enough by purchasing them from Amazon and installing myself.

   This is an excellent kayak for calmer waters. It’s very comfortable and is a great looking kayak. The water-tight compartment in the back is large and easily accessible when sitting in the kayak. Shipping with prime was also a breeze. The only thing this kayak is missing is a drain plug, but I drilled a hole and installed one myself. I recommend this kayak to everyone.

   This is my first kayak and I would urge anyone thinking about the sport to go with this product. It tracks extremely well and the seat is very comfortable. The sealed off hull and storage compartment are awesome for keeping a ton of stuff dry. There’s a ton of room. In fact, I store my PFD in there with room to spare when carrying the yak to water.The only downside is that there is no drain plug. This makes it extremely hard to get water out of the cockpit if you capsize. My first time out I flipped over and had to get the water out with a vacuum and towel. Small inconvenience.For the money this is a sturdy boat that won’t let you down. I use it on a river by me and I am able to paddle upstream with it. I’m extremely happy with my purchase.

   After much kayak research, I decided on the Perception Joyride as my first kayak because of its quality, features, and cost.I especially like that this kayak has a sealed “bulkhead”, which means if I capsize the boat will float because it has a sealed-off area of air. The bulkhead doubles as a dry storage area, so I can keep things in there that I want to stay dry (sweatshirt, beach towel, shoes, phone charger, etc.).I wish this had a drain plug. I plan to drill and install one myself.I can reach the storage area while seated in the kayak. I do have somewhat long arms, so I don’t think everyone will reach both locking-handles easily. But regardless, it’s great to have a dry storage area that doubles as a bulkhead.The adjustable foot rests are fantastic. That gives me a feeling of stability, and also helps my back not hurt.The seat is comfortable. The base (supporting the legs) can tilt up for thigh support. And the back can tilt back if you want to lounge, but I prefer to keep it more upright while paddling.I like the stretchy ropes to hold stuff on. I used one to shove a very light blanket under, and I stuck a thing of french fries in another of those areas! The water bottle holder is nice; I prefer to tilt my bottle down so it doesn’t impede my view, and also so it is secured in case of waves – and it’s wonderful to be able to be able to stow the water bottle either way.The selfie slot will take some getting used to. The bungee there was pretty taut. I could fit my phone upright without a case; but trying to tilt my phone put too much pressure on my phone. So I stretched out that part of the bungee, and now my phone with case fits well (but still snug enough to stay put) in either of the 3 tilt angles.The kayak is very sturdy (thick plastic), floats nicely, tracks well (I didn’t feel a pull either left nor right), and feels stable.The handles are nice, especially that they’re built-in.The small rubber skid plate at the back bottom is nice for when moving this around on land. Tilting it on end doesn’t cause the plastic of the boat to get scratched.The freight company that delivered my kayak to my yard was fantastic! The kayak did get a little bit scratched – on the side where the factory sticker is was just some very small scratches, and on one end was a big gouge. For the gouged area, I cut the sharp areas off with scissors. Because I’d read reviews that mentioned this possibility, I wasn’t too disappointed, and I realized it’s part of the risk of having a kayak delivered rather than picking it up in a store.I’ve since ordered a 2nd Joyride from Amazon. The 1st of those got stolen by the freight company, and never arrived. That was a bummer, since I woke up at 5:30am to be ready for the delivery, not to mention the price of that Joyride was a really good deal. The 2nd of those didn’t arrive on the delivery date, and they sent me a notice to reschedule the delivery for a few days later. That was again a bummer because I woke up at 5:30am for that delivery. So when I clicked to reschedule, I opted for a delivery later in the day. That one arrived as scheduled, and the kayak was in perfect shape!Overall, I had an awesome freight company the first time (for kayak #1), a horrible one the second time (for kayak #2.0 that the freight company stole), and a good one but didn’t arrive as scheduled the first time (for kayak #2.1).So half the battle is finding a kayak in stock, and the other half of the saga is if/when/how it gets delivered. But once they’ve arrived, hopefully not too badly scratched up, the Joyride is a fantastic kayak!

   These are well-constructed (we bought his an hers) and are both agile and stable on a fairly calm river. The went through some class 1+ quite easily. They are a bit deep, thus the stability but my spouse is 5″1′ and uses a “booster” seat to paddle effectively.I read many of these arrive damaged; our was not exception. On one, the foot support was broken. I called Amazon, and the IMMEDIATELY refunded 25% of the price. That was $162.50!!! I super-glued the brace and it seems to be OK. I ordered a new one from Perception for 35 bucks and they had it to me in just a couple days.Nice job by Perception AND Amazon.

   Easy to use, awesome amount of storage space! I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to get to the storage spot while kayaking, but it is super easy to reach and easy to lock and unlock. The place for the phone is awesome! I can take video and pictures hands free and it holds the phone very well, it even has different positions for the phone. The seat is very comfortable and sturdy, some kayak seats are just like a piece of foam fabric, this one is so much better and adjustable. It has lots of room behind the seat, Just be careful of what you store behind the seat, it will get wet if a big wave splashes. The foot rests are easy to change positions even while kayaking. Seriously worth every penny and more.

   Not only does this kayak look great it works equally well. Tracks well and stable using it in our local river. So much fun and good exercise. It is made in South Carolina which is another plus.
