User reviews of the Perception Kayaks Five-o

Been surfing my 5.0 for a year now. Just accidently forgot the fin and man...was it amazing! Now that I have a pretty good handle with it I was able to remove the fin and turn on a dime. Bottom turns made easy and even 360s aren't hard. Awesome moderate surf kayak. ~Myrtle Beach

I have surfed on of these for years. Strong, stable and well designed this kayak this is the ultimate in sit on top surf kayak.The thigh straps and adjustable foot brace make this suitable for all sizes and the thigh strap makes for a handy shoulder strap when carrying. I couldn't recomend this kayak highly enough.

Big fun for the first time surf ski kayaker. I will be using this ski for a good long while building my skills...way more fun than try to surf a sea kayak.

great plastic waveski, catches waves easily, can ride small chunky rollers or 10 foot + steep siders. fun surf boat for noobies and the more experianced. more tippy than a beginners boat or SOT but more stable than a custom ski. decent rocker helps when dropping down steep waves and also on the paddle out through the white. tough construction means it can take a beating without the worries of denting like a custom ski. i have used a few difrent types of plastic waveski and the five o is the most versatile in all the conditions , when its messy u can still catch a wee run and when conditions are perfect you can be carvin it like a pro (hey a guy can dream). great ski, good value. if your progressing but maybee not ready or dont have the funds for a custom ski this certainly gets my recommendation.

This is a stunning kayak if you have advanced from ocean kayak type craft as I did. At first it feels very tippy in comparison but once you get dialled in the extra performance is awesome. I'm loving it!
