Perception Prodigy EXP Series Kayak - 2008

The Perception Prodigy EXP Series Kayak is super comfortable and stable for beginner to intermediate paddlers. The large cockpit provides plenty of space for paddlers who don't want to feel like they need a crowbar to extract themselves after a tour, and Perception gave the Prodigy EXP Series Kayak a wide width to ensure stability, even in choppy water. These polyethylene kayaks also include a water-tight bulkhead for lunch, snacks, and extra layers. If you want a bit more storage for full-day trips, choose the 12-foot Prodigy Kayak.

Bottom Line: Tired of cramped, unstable kayaks? Grab a Perception Prodigy EXP Series Kayak and experience steady paddling bliss.

I have two boys, aged 9 & 5; my older son is fine alone in

I have two boys, aged 9 & 5; my older son is fine alone in a canoe but none of us have ever kyaked. Am looking for something stable that he can go out in as well as something I can go in WITH my 5 year old. Do I need a tandem kyak?

Well, he won't have to worry about tipping as this is one of the most stable kayaks available...I think a short person with good balance could stand up in it, although I can't quite manage it. I've taken it out on the reservoir with huge power boat wakes and never tipped. The only problem might be the width, which requires a longer paddle (I use a 230 cm) and might be a stretch for a little guy. I think he could ride with you without a problem as long as you are under the weight limit-this boat also has one of the largest cockpits on the market.

This Kayak seems to be the exact model LL Bean calls the Manatee.
It also comes with a great fishing package and still less expensive than the price here. WE love ours and would definitely get another one. Very comfortable and easy handling.

Is this adequate for beginner in small lake?

This would be a perfect kayak for the beginner lake paddler.

The service I received from you was great! I ordered my Perception Prodigy kayak over the phone to make sure I got everything right, and the person I talked to was very helpful. It was a pleasure talking to him. The kayak came so fast all the way from Utah to Georgia, I couldn't believe it - 4 days! The Prodigy is exactly what I wanted for me and my Golden Retriever. The large cockpit is plenty big enough for both of us. Again, excellent service and price and a great product. I will definitely recommend you to other outdoor friends. Thanks
