Riot Kayaks Bayside Tandem Touring Kayak

Very stable open cockpit tandem touring kayak

The Riot Bayside Tandem is a very stable 2 person open cockpit kayak which is perfect for exploring lakes, rivers, estuaries and sheltered bays or harbours. The Bayside Tandem has one single large open cockpit for 2 people and even space for a dog. The design of the Bayside Tandem places the paddlers quite low, this helps with stability and creates a user-friendly paddling experience. The large open cockpit also makes getting in and out of the kayak very easy and will appeal to those who do not like the idea of separate enclosed cockpits.

The Bayside feels very stable on the water and has plenty of room for equipment for an extended day's paddling, or even a camping trip for those feeling adventurous. As well as being stable and having reassuringly predictable handling the Bayside 15 cuts through the water with surprising speed and efficiency, owing to its long waterline length and its long narrow bow.

The Bayside Tandem has plenty of storage in the roomy rear storage compartment with a sealed bulkhead. There are criss-cross bungees on the foredeck and a handy small day hatch there too. The seats are very padded and comfortable, and the open cockpit design gives a feeling of freedom and confidence. If you have a dog or small pet that you wish to share your adventures with, then the Riot Bayside Tandem is the perfect choice, with plenty of space between the legs of the rear paddler.
