Riot Bayside 10

Stable Solo Kayak for Calm Water

The Riot Bayside 10 is stable and easy to paddle, the large open cockpit offers easy access and the Flex 4 seat is very comfortable. It is designed to be paddled without a spraydeck. The V profile bow and extended keel at the stern make the kayak track effortlessly in a straight line. Off the water you will appreciate the moulded handles at the bow and stern and at just 22.6kg this is a similar weight to many short SOT kayaks.

The front of the Flex 4 padded seat base can be raised to provide support under your thighs. The backrest is height and recline adjustable and has plenty of padding for your comfort. The footrests can be easily adjusted to suit paddlers of various sizes. Behind the cockpit are two flush mount fishing rod holders. Slip the handle of a fishing rod into one and it will point slightly to the rear and side so you can troll lures as you paddle. 

The slide track accessory rails can be used to mount an action camera, a safety visibility flag, and a range of other accessories. On either side of the cockpit there is a paddle park to stow your paddle while you are not using it. At the stern the tank-well storage area has bungee lines for stowing gear. This is a great place to store items such as picnic kit or even a small BBQ for a lunch break or a quiet evening on a tranquil riverbank or sheltered cove. To the front of the cockpit there is room to stow a couple of water bottles or flasks and some smaller items too.

Designed for paddling gentle waters such as slow moving rivers, lakes and sheltered coastlines the Bayside 10 is a great starter kayak and is ideal for the more experienced paddler who wants a compact easy to handle watercraft. The open cockpit is not designed to be used with an off the shelf spray deck.
