Riot Kayaks Bayside 12 LV

Stable Touring Kayak with Large Open Cockpit

The Riot Bayside 12 LV is a stable kayak designed for gentle water paddling. The generously sized cockpit provides plenty of space making it one of the easiest kayaks for entry and exit.

At the front of the cockpit is the removable 'dashboard' which has a couple of circular recesses for a cup or flask and some criss cross bungees to hold down a drinks container while paddling. It also has an accessory mounting track in case you want to add a fishing rod holder, camera etc. If you want to take a young child or a dog along for a cruise then just remove the dashboard and you should have ample room!

There is plenty other storage space for taking kit with you either behind the seat or in the rear storage compartment accessed via the rear rubber hatch cover. The storage compartment has a bulkhead behind the seat separating the space from the main cockpit. If you want to do some fishing then have a waterside barbecue or just to take a picnic along for a relaxing lunch you will have no problem fitting all you need inside.

If you meet wind or currents on your journey, you will find the built in retractable skeg enhances straight line paddling when deployed. There is slider control for the skeg on the side of the kayak. The Bayside LV is mideal for paddling sheltered coastal locations, inland lakes/lochs, gently flowing rivers and canals.

At 12ft in length and 24.2kg the Bayside LV is manageable on and off the water and can be transported on a standard car roof rack.
