Riot Bayside 12 LV

A Touring Kayak With A Large Open Cockpit

The Riot Bayside 12 LV is a great touring kayak that offers a large cockpit, making it ideal for paddlers who need plenty of space for entry and exit from a kayak or just don't like feeling trapped inside a cockpit. Offering plenty of volume, the Bayside 12 LV ensures most paddlers feel well looked after and confident on the water. 

A clean entry line to the bow of the kayak makes sure the Bayside 12 LV tracks well and is efficient on the water. For those windy days when a little more help is required the Bayside 12 LV has a drop-down skeg which is easy to deploy and retract from the cockpit, this just gives the paddler a little more help to track. The flatter mid-section of the kayaks hull with its 2 tracking channels gives that stable feeling and helps to grow the paddler's confidence.

A comfortable seating system has height and recline adjustment through the backrest, as well as a leg lifter in the base of the seat. When this is paired with the adjustable footrests, pretty much all heights of paddlers feel like they can get a set-up to keep them happy on the water all day. The large rear storage area has an oval rubber hatch opening allowing paddlers to store all their gear, this storage area is bulkheaded behind the seat to keep this compartment separate to the open cockpit. A smaller round hatch on the front deck is there for any smaller bit of kit you might want to keep close to hand. A front removable accessory tray as well as 2 rear slide track rails mean paddlers have plenty of space for all accessories.
