Riot Magnum 72

Kayaks with a sense of purpose - RIOT

The Magnum kayak series: The culmination of Riot paddlers' creeking wisdom since day one. The Magnum's got the perfect length and shape, effortlessly punching through features without going vertical.

Buoyant yet maneuverable, it's the ultimate creeking companion. Choose your size: Magnum 72 or 80, and get ready for an epic adventure on the water. Creeking is one of those things where science and the unknown can’t be completely separated. At least it seems that way, but let’s pull the strict science out of the pile: the Magnum.

This creek boat design was created to navigate narrower waterways. Ranging from 7'11" to 8'4" feet long, these Magnum creek boats use a high-volume displacement hull.

They feature a strong rocker — the curve of the bow from stem to stern — to help the paddler stay on top of the water and prevent the boat’s nose from diving.

The helpful handling characteristics make these boats great for paddling in technical settings. However, taking a creek boat into bigger, faster-moving water can be difficult because these same characteristics can allow it to be pushed around easily by strong currents.
