Riot Brittany 16.5 Kayak

The Riot Brittany 16.5 is a sit-inside touring kayak with a V-shape hull, padded seating, and a 1 person person seating capacity. As a touring kayak, it is designed to travel long distances in open (and potential rough) water. Experienced kayakers will find these kayaks are easier to track in a straight line, more maneuverable in rough waters, and can go faster. It will also have more storage space than the average kayak – enough for overnight outings.
