Riot Magnum 80

Kayaks with a sense of purpose - RIOT

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 thing sums up all the knowledge the Riot paddlers have acquired about creeking since day one. It's got the right length and shape to easily punch through features without losing too much momentum and ending up going vertical; buoyant yet manoeuvrable. 

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.
