Perception makes their kayaks from a proprietary High-Density Polyethylene material using the company-specific, one-piece rotational molding technology. An overloaded kayak can become slow and unstable. Still, it is advisable not to load the kayak with more than 80 percent of the total loading limit to get the best performance. With such capacity, the Sound nearly matches up kayaks longer than 12′ such as the Perception JoyRide 12. The kayak can carry 335 lbs (152 kg) of weight.
With its weight of only 46 lbs (21 kg), most people can easily lift and portage this boat. It fits most standard truck beds and roof racks. Perception Sound 10.5 was designed to be lightweight while providing the capacity for larger paddlers and their gear.īeing 10’6″ (320 cm) long, 29.5″ (75 cm) wide, and having 15.75″ (40 cm) deck height, this kayak isn’t too big for easy storage and transportation. It is suitable for heavier yakkers and is capable of carrying more gear as well. The Sound 10.5 is the bigger brother of the popular Perception Sound 9.5. Enjoy fishing and recreational paddling if you like exploring small lakes, ponds, slow-moving rivers, and calm inshore water. Regardless of whether you’re a kayaking novice or an enthusiastic paddler, Perception Sound 10.5 is always a bargain.
