RIOT KAYAKS OWNER’S MANUAL

MY KAYAK SERIAL NUMBER:

Kayaking lets you experience the outdoors in a very

unique way, with the world taking on a different

perspective viewed from the water. But like any activity,

there is no substitute for experience. Get out there and

paddle, explore, discover and learn, but make sure to

follow the guidelines outlined in this owner’s manual,

and enroll in a course from a certified instructor before

taking to the water.

One of the beautiful things about kayaks is their ease of

use, but it’s always a good idea to get professional

instruction when starting.

This owner’s manual is a great way to get an overview of

kayaking but it is not a substitute for lessons from a

qualified instructor. Certified instruction will give you a

strong base of skills and the knowledge to safely enjoy

your time on the water. Across the world there are

organizations devoted to educating paddlers, and after

you’ve taken a basic course your learning doesn’t have to

stop. Once you’ve got the proper foundation, there’s a

wealth of information from which to learn. Kayak-

specific magazines, DVD’s, books and websites exist as

well as a host of advanced courses.

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest crafts available today!

The kayak you just purchased has been built with the soundest materials and meets the industry’s highest standards of quality. Kayaks are

wonderful tools for recreation, exploration and fitness. We’ve included this manual with your kayak to help answer any initial questions you may

have and to help you ensure years of trouble-free use. Although this Owner’s Manual is a great way to get an overview of kayakaing, it’s not a

substitute for lessons from a qualified instructor. As with many activities, the more you know the more fun you have. So take the time to read

through this manual and hang on to it for reference.

your original receipt as you would need this information in the unlikely event of a

warranty or insurance claim.

Maintenance

We’ve put a lot of time and thought into providing you with a quality kayak and we stand behind our product 100%. By reading your kayak’s

warranty agreement and following these few simple maintenance steps, you should have years of problem-free fun:

Transportation When transporting your kayak, take care to avoid potential damage or distortion to the hull. A good racking system allows you to

transport your kayak on the top of your vehicle safely and securely. You will want to add some foam padding to your roof rack or invest in a

padded kayak cradle, especially if your kayak is constructed out of a composite material. Remember... damage caused by kayaks flying off car

roof tops or deformations caused during transport are not covered by the warranty.

To avoid loss or damage, remove all accessories before transporting the kayak.

For your safety and to avoid unnecessary scratches on your car, all but the

shortest boats should be car-topped by two people, placing the kayak on a quality

roof rack. Practice common sense lifting techniques, using your legs (not your back)

to raise the kayak onto the racking.

Once the kayak is on the roof rack, hull side down or on its side, use a pair of

straps or ropes to secure the midsection of the kayak to the roof rack, taking

care not to overtighten.

Each end of the kayak should be tied to the bumpers of the vehicle. However,

be careful not to cinch down these bow and stern lines too tightly as that will

increase the likelihood of hull warpage.

Also to avoid hull deformation, do not leave the boat tied to the vehicle for an

extended period of time or in the hot sun.

If your kayak extends more than 3.5 feet (1 meter) behind your vehicle, attach a red flag to the

hanging extremities to alert fellow motorists and pedestrians.

To transport multiple kayaks use a stacking bar and appropriate padding, placing each kayak on its side, with

hull against hull to prevent deformation.

After a long day on the water, DON’T FORGET THAT YOUR KAYAK IS STRAPPED ON THE ROOF; you do not want to drive into your garage

with it still on the rack. It may sound strange...but it happens.

Repair Your kayak’s hull and outfitting are built to withstand the strains of kayaking but occasionally the stresses of the paddling environment

may necessitate a repair. You should carry a roll of duct tape in your dry bag in case of a break or a defect in your kayak on the water.

Afterwards, for everything from simple repairs to hull replacement, contact your retailer. With their knowledge of techniques and access to

replacement parts your kayak will be as good as new in no time.

Storage For long term storage and to prevent hull deformation your kayak should be kept on its side, preferably on a padded rack. Take care

to protect it from long term exposure to the sun or extreme heat which can contribute to degradation of the hull material and cause

permanent deformation. You may also want to cover the cockpit to guard against dust and debris. Always make sure that your kayak is dry

before winter storage; leaving the drain plug open will provide better ventilation.

Be careful when setting your kayak down on rough or hard surfaces.

Always try to slide in and off a sandy beach. Never place your kayak on a surface that may cut or push the hull inward during entry.

Regularly inspect the hull and outfitting (seat, thigh braces, backband, footbrace) of your kayak to insure their condition and tighten

screws if necessary.

Pay specific attention to the grab handles of your kayak, making sure they do not become loose or damaged.

Take care to protect your kayak from long term exposure to the sun or extreme heat which can contribute to weakening of the plastic/

composite and cause hull deformations. Ask your dealer about products designed specifically to protect your kayak against the sun.

Rinse your kayak well with fresh water to help get rid of sand or salt that can affect the performance of movable parts and gradually wear

down the hull.

Never leave salt water inside a composite kayak as it will not dry out. The kayak may absorb the water and become heavier.

To maintain your dual-density hatch covers, clean them regularly and apply a bit of silicone lube on the rim so they remain easy to take

off and put back on.

For hatches with neoprene seals, make sure you rinse the neoprene seal and hatch rim of any sand or salt and inspect seal regularly to

detect any damage.

Adjusting your kayak Your position and comfort in the kayak play a huge role in the enjoyment of your time on the water. The three main

contact points between you and your kayak are your buttocks, thighs, and feet. Proper kayak outfitting maximizes contact with all three of these

points, allowing you to sit upright with good posture and letting you paddle more efficiently for a longer period of time. Always adjust your

outfitting while your kayaks sits stable on a soft, non-abrasive surface. If the surrounding land is unsuitable, simply place the kayak in some

calm, shallow water and make your adjustments there. Regardless of where you complete your adjustments, remember that the goal is to

maximize comfort and control.

Backrest To sit up straight, add tension in the backrest strap. For a more relaxed, laid back paddling

position, release some tension in the backrest strap. There are three different backrest strap tension systems,

depending on the kayak model you own:

Kayaks with Contour Fit outfittings use a cam buckle located in a well at the front of the seat. To add tension,

grab the strap and pull it towards you; to release tension press the tab on top of the cam buckle.

Kayaks with Advanced Contour Fit and High Performance Contour Fit outfittings use a ratchet

system located at the front of the seat, doubled with a cam buckle located behind the right

hip pad. First, set the ladder strap in the ratchet to the last notch towards its free extremity; in

that position, the backrest should be pulled all the way back. Then pull on the strap at the

cam buckle to eliminate any slack in the strap. Sit in the kayak and crank the ratchet until

you obtain the desired tension in the backrest. If the adjustment range provided by the ladder

strap and ratchet is not enough, loosen the ratchet and pull the strap through the cam buckle

a little more to gain more tension.

Backrest height adjustment Why and when? Generally speaking, a higher backrest setup provides more comfort for casual or long paddling

sessions on calm waters, and a lower backrest makes rolling easier and allows more range of motion for performance paddling, or for rough

conditions. To adjust your backrest’s height: slack both knobs behind the backrest a couple turns, then pull up or push down the backrest to the

desired height. Then tighten the knobs again to finish the setup. If the knob appears to turn loose, just push

against the seat cover with your other hand as you tighten. If it still doesn’t tighten, try twisting the knob

clockwise...

Hip pads Models with Advanced Contour Fit and High Performance Contour Fit outfittings come with

adjustable hip pads. By slacking the support plate screws using a standard Phillips screw driver, these hip

pads can be moved forward and back. You can also customize your hip pad settings by inserting foam shims

between the support plate and the cushionning.

Footbraces Adjustable via a rail or webbing system, properly adjusted footbraces increase your control, letting you put the kayak on edge for

turning or for bracing in an oncoming wave. Certain models of footbraces also control the kayak’s rudder. A properly adjusted footbrace should

allow your knees and thighs a snug fit under the cockpit and thighbraces.

Quicklock footbrace system (kayaks without rudder) Simply pinch the trigger on the rear of the foot pedal to release the locking mechanism.

Once released you can move the foot pedal forwards or backwards along the track to customize your fit. You can even tighten the footbraces

while seated by using your feet to pull them closer to you.

Rudder footbrace system Designed so you can fit your footbraces without affecting your rudder control system. Pull the straps to move the foot

pedals closer to you. To move the pedals further away from you simply release the ladder lock on each strap and the pedals will slide forward.

IMPORTANT: After all your adjustments are complete and you are seated in your kayak, you will want to verify that you can still easily exit your kayak. If

your kayak is equipped with a rudder, also confirm its proper function. Then, time spent in your kayak will be your best teacher as to which areas of your

body may require additional padding.

Skeg and Rudder

A skeg lowers into the water along the axis of the kayak, improving the straight-line tracking of your kayak in certain conditions, but has no ability

to control directional changes.

A rudder helps straight-line tracking, but being orientable it also aids turning. Useful for larger kayaks such as tandems, the rudder is not a

replacement for proper kayak steering techniques,; good technique can help you better control your boat.

Both skeg and rudder can be deployed and retracted while seated in your kayak by using the control system positioned to the right side of the

cockpit.

Skeg To control your skeg you will find a slider system on the right

side of your cockpit. Push the slider forward to lift the skeg, slide

it backwards to lower the skeg in the water. Note that there are

ten positions on this ratchet-like system, so you can fine-tune the

amount of skeg surface you will use, which is useful in stabilizing

course in windy conditions.

Pilot Rudder System To lower the Pilot System rudder blade in the water, pull the

rope’s lower knot to the front. To store the blade on deck, first make sure the rudder is

in neutral position so the blade is properly aligned with the rubberized V-block on rear

deck, and pull the higher knot to the front.

To improve your kayaking technique and control don’t use the skeg or rudder unless necessary

and then only in water deep enough that the skeg or rudder will not touch bottom.

Sea kayaking essentials Rules and regulations vary from country to country. Consult the local Coast Guard or similar organization as it is up to

you to educate yourself regarding the navigation rules and requirements of your specific region.

Important factors to keep in mind regarding marine navigation and right of way include:

Visibility Kayaks can be difficult to see from a distance, especially in inclement conditions. To ensure that you are visible choose brightly

colored clothing and always carry signaling equipment.

Right of way When crossing, vessels should defer to the right (starboard) side. Remember this and you’ll be better able to understand the

behavior of other vessels on the water.

Other users When paddling certain waterways you may find that your kayak is the smallest vessel on the water. The U.S. Coast Guard does

not mention kayaks specifically in its regulations regarding right of way, but common sense dictates that the law of tonnage applies: If a

vessel is bigger than you, stay out of its way.

Buoys All regularly traveled waterways have buoys to aid navigation. Often times they mark a channel or an area of restricted navigation.

Most authorities will be happy to explain what each buoy indicates.

Recommended accessories

Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or Swim Vest Easily the most important safety gear you will ever own as a kayaker; choose it wisely. Regardless

of the style of PFD you end up selecting, you’ll want to make sure that it is designed specifically for kayaking. Look for a comfortable,

customizable fit which allows maximum movement of your shoulders and torso without moving around. Make sure to select a PFD with flotation

that corresponds to your weight and that is designed with a highly visible color. We recommend you wear your PFD at all times. Not only will it

add buoyancy in case of a swim, but it will also help you stay warm and can protect you in case of a fall on slippery shoreline rocks. Be sure

to select a PFD that complies with the safety regulations of your area.

Skirt Keeping you and your kayak warm and dry, the skirt is worn around your waist and attaches around the cockpit of your kayak, preventing

splashes from waves or your paddle from entering. Designed of either nylon or neoprene, different models offer varying degrees of warmth and

water tightness. Regardless of the type you choose, make sure that the grab loop located at the front of your skirt is always accessible in case

of a wet exit.

Paddle Your means of propulsion, the kayak paddle is perhaps the most personal piece of equipment a kayaker uses. With models existing for

all paddling styles and budgets, you’ll want to try out several different types and lengths before deciding on the right paddle for you. Factors to

consider when choosing your paddle include length, blade size, and material.

Paddle float An invaluable tool allowing you to “self rescue” in case of a capsize. The paddle float slips over the blade of your paddle, giving

the blade flotation and allowing it to be used as an outrigger, stabilizing your kayak and permitting you to get back in from the water. Although

a straightforward technique, every paddler venturing any significant distance away from shore should get proper instruction on how to get back

into their kayak using the paddle float.

Sound signal You are required to have an easily accessible sound signaling device, such as a whistle or fog horn, to help in navigation and to

alert larger watercrafts of your presence in low visibility conditions.

Skeg adjustment

Push the slider to lift the skeg up, pull it back to lower the

skeg. Slider lets you choose between 10 possible postions

Pull lower knot forward to drop the blade down,

Mandatory Accessories, United States of America

In the United States boating regulations vary from state to state but on a national level the US Coast Guard requires that:

Recommended accessories (continued) Mandatory Accessories, Canada

The Small Vessel Regulations enforced by the Canadian Coast Guard establishes a minimum of safety equipment that you must carry with you

in your kayak (or any boat under 6 meters in length):

Personal flotation device (PFD) When selecting your PFD you’ll want to make sure that it is certified by the Canadian Coast Guard and that

it is designed specifically for paddling, and preferably equipped with some kind of reflective device

Spare paddle Usually a 2 or 4 piece “break-apart” design, every group should carry one. Often times it can be secured on the deck of

your kayak via shock-cord deck rigging, easily accessed in case of an emergency

Throw bag Make sure you carry with you a throw bag with at least 45 feet (15 meters) of cord. In an emergency situation it can literally

be a lifeline between you and your paddling partners. If need be, your cord can also function as a towline between kayaks and around

camp it can serve double duty as an excellent way to hang clothes up to dry

Bilge pump or bailing scoop For emptying water from your kayak while out on the water nothing beats the efficiency and ease of a hand

pump (especially double action models.) If you don’t have a pump, a bailing cup or scoop is required to help get rid of excess water. The

addition of a sponge lets you soak up the last remaining drops of water keeping your kayak warm and dry

Sound signal You are required to have an easily accessible sound-signaling device, such as a whistle or fog horn, to help in navigation and

to alert larger watercraft of your presence in low visibility conditions

Signal/running light Between sunset and sunrise, or during times of reduced visibility such as fog, you must remain visible with the use of

a running light (a waterproof flashlight will do)

Choosing your Clothing

When selecting what to wear remember that it should be determined by a combination of air AND water temperature. As with many outdoor

activities you’ll want to use the layer system, wearing distinct layers of clothing rather than one or two thick layers. In all but the warmest

conditions you’ll want your outermost layer to be made of a water and wind proof material. For your underlayers, avoid clothes made out of

cotton. Although comfortable off the water, wet cotton offers no insulation and is very slow to dry. Instead choose insulating clothing made of

synthetic fibers. As well as wicking moisture away from your body, this system allows you to easily adapt to changing weather conditions. You

may also want to choose paddling clothes equipped with reflective strips, especially if your trip involves long crossings and very early

departures.

Marine chart and shoreline topographical map If venturing on open water, it’s important to be aware of your position at all times. Keeping an

accurate marine and shoreline topographical map with you in a waterproof sleeve will help prevent against getting lost and/or energy-

depleting navigational errors.

First aid kit A simple first aid kit should contain materials for treating blisters, minor wounds, burns and trauma; there are many

companies that offer outdoor-specific first aid kits. Regardless of what type you choose, make sure you keep your first aid kit safely inside

a dry bag and that you update its contents regularly.

Sun protection Water reflects much of the sun’s rays, amplifying their effect. Wearing proper sun protection while out on the water is

critical. Sunglasses, a hat, and of course sunscreen, all help you protect yourself from the sun. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen

frequently.

Drinkable water and a snack Dehydration can cause fatigue and misjudgment. Keep things fun by making sure to carry along enough

drinkable water and appropriate snacks to keep energy levels high throughout your trip.

Distress signal All kayaks used on Coastal waters, large lakes or bodies of water more than 2 miles (3 km) wide must be equipped with

approved distress signals. There are many types of distress signals, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choose your distress

signal(s) according to Coast Guard requirements.

All recreational boats must carry one wearable PFD for each person aboard. The USCG divides PFD’s into 3 categories: type I: Off shore,

type II: Near shore, type III: Flotation aid

Your kayak must include a system to signal your presence such as flares, signal mirror, or flashlight

All recreational vessels (including kayaks) are required to display navigational lights between sunset and sunrise and during other periods

of reduced visibility like fog, rain, or haze

The USCG, working with affiliated local organizations, offers all small craft owners a free annual Vessel Safety Check (VSC). An

educational procedure (rather than an enforcement of the law), the VSC helps increase everyone’s safety in small craft boating

For more information on the United States Coast Guard Regulations visit: http://www.uscgboating.org

If you are venturing offshore or may encounter turbulent water keep in mind the following rule of thumb: If the combined total of the air and

the water temperature is under 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) you will want to wear a wet suit or drysuit.

Wet suit Available in full suit, shorty and “farmer john” styles, a wet suit is composed of flexible 3 or 4mm neoprene that works by allowing a

thin layer of water between your skin and the neoprene. This layer of water is warmed by your body and helps fend off hypothermia. A wet suit

should be neither so tight that it causes restrictions of your movement, nor too loose

that it allows water to run freely into and out of the suit.

Dry suit/dry top Available in one or two piece versions, a dry suit uses water tight gaskets

at the neck, wrist and ankles to keep you dry. A dry suits’ impermeable outer fabric

does little to help insulation, instead allowing you to wear insulating layers underneath.

Excursion planning

Safety precautions

Your personal safety, and the safety of your group, begins with you. Never paddle alone or stand up in a kayak. Be overly cautious with

children. Never allow children to kayak without adult supervision. You’ll have the most enjoyable time possible if you choose a destination

suitable for the abilities of your group. Make sure that even the least experienced paddler in your group is able to cover the distance you have

chosen to paddle and always keep in mind that changing weather conditions, winds or currents can greatly alter the characteristics of your

trip. Even the shortest excursion on the water can benefit from a minimal amount of planning so whether you’re headed out for a half hour or

a couple of days, take the time to ask yourself the following questions:

When setting out, even if it’s just for a quick afternoon paddle, take a few minutes to file a float plan. Leave information on departure/arrival

times, # of people in your group, planned destination and the color of your kayaks with a responsible friend. If setting out alone, leave an

envelope with this information labeled FLOAT PLAN on the dashboard of your car. Play it safe, respect yourself and respect the water.

Kayaker’s Code of Ethics Kayaks allow us to experience the beauty of the water and explore areas virtually untouched by man. It is our

responsibility to keep these areas pristine during and after our visit ensuring our enjoyment, and that of others, for generations to come. This

kayaker’s code of ethics can serve as a general set of guidelines to help limit your impact on the paddling environment:

Adapt to changing weather conditions by carrying

extra clothes in a dry bag and don’t forget a good

hat to reduce your exposure to the sun.

What are the water conditions and are they likely to change?

What is the weather forecast?

Are there currents or winds we need to take into account?

What is our exposure to the elements?

Is there other vessel traffic on the waterway we should be aware of?

Is our planned trip reasonable considering our group’s experience

and abilities?

Have we brought with us all of the essential equipment and

accessories?

Have we brought along enough water and energy rich food?

Have we included warmer clothing in case the weather changes?

Do I have a method to signal/communicate?

And perhaps most importantly: HAVE I FILED A FLOAT PLAN?

Warning: failure to follow the above safety precautions may

lead to serious injury or death. The use of alcohol or drugs

will affect your judgment and coordination and impair your

capacity to safely operate a kayak.

Try to remain courteous at all times and respect fellow kayakers as well as other vessels

Offer your help to those in difficulty

Respect private property

Never camp on an island less than 60 meters wide or that serves as a home for a colony of birds or seals

Washing should always be done away from the water, with a biodegradable soap. Do not wash anything (dishes, clothing or yourself)

directly in the water.

Use a stove rather than a fire for cooking your food

Pack out all of your trash and before leaving your campsite verify that there is no trace of your visit

For their safety and yours, stay at least 200 meters away from wildlife. Reduce your noise level and speed when observing wild animals
