The Riot Brittany 16.5 is an award-winning British-style sea kayak celebrated for its speed, agility, and versatility. Suitable for paddlers of all skill levels, the Brittany provides excellent stability, giving beginners confidence while allowing experienced paddlers to showcase advanced handling techniques.
This kayak features ample deck storage, a recessed space for a compass, lifelines, and safety straps, all while maintaining its traditional elegance and functionality.
Equipped with both a rudder and skeg, the Brittany excels in a variety of water conditions—from calm lakes to choppy seas. The cockpit includes adjustable thigh brace pads for enhanced comfort and control, ensuring a great balance of connectivity during long paddling sessions.
Its hull design incorporates a moderate rocker and an upswept bow, allowing for excellent straight-line tracking and smooth navigation over oncoming waves. The hull's predictable and efficient shape inspires confidence in edging and rolling. In windy conditions, the skeg can be deployed to counteract weather cocking, or you can utilize the Pilot Rudder System to navigate variable winds and complex seas.
The foredeck features a molded recess for easy installation of a deck compass, facilitating navigation. Storage is generous, with large hatches in the bow and stern, plus a convenient day hatch behind the cockpit for quick access to essentials like jackets or snacks. Three bulkheads separate the storage areas, allowing you to stow camping gear in both the bow and stern compartments. Additionally, on-deck bungee cords provide extra space for securing gear like paddle floats, deck bags, or spare paddles.
The Riot Brittany 16.5 is a versatile sea kayak that caters to both experienced paddlers and those new to longer kayaks, offering an exceptional blend of performance, comfort, and affordability.
