The Rio is designed for the smaller-framed paddler looking for a recreational style kayak with spirited performance and nimble handling. At just under 12 feet in length and only 35 pounds, the Rio combines comfortable stability with a playful and efficient hull. While ready for the first time paddler, the Rio will soon tempt you to experiment with more advanced paddle strokes.

The Rio comes with a Backrest but the Backband is available as an option.

Please enjoy the Rio, and all recreational kayaks, in lakes, Class I-II flowing rivers, and near shorelines in fresh and saltwater.
