XYTEC™ Not only are the designs of the Velocity and Flight cutting edge, so is the construction material. Xytec™ is the latest plastic to be applied the field of kayak construction. It’s properties include, the stiffness of blow-molded plastic, impact resistance of cross-link polyethylene, and the repair-ability and recycle-ability of linear polyethylene. When you consider that every edge, flat surface and line on your kayak has a specific purpose, the properties of Xytec™ are truly advantageous. Xytec™ has more resistance to wear, and more stiffness than any other plastic available. So, long after your purchase, your kayak will continue to provide optimum performance.

Touring Kayaks

Velocity & MaxVelocity

Maximum Velocity A super outfitted Velocity. Includes: sealed bulkheads fore and aft for safety, bow porthole hatch and oversized rear hatch for ample gear storage, adjustable padded seat and thigh pads for extra comfort, and retractable skeg.

Velocity An expert's kayak that is beginner friendly. Together with the design team at Riot Kayaks, spearheaded by Olympic and world medalist kayaker Corran Addison, we strived to create the best crossover kayak ever made for both touring and river running. The revolutionary hull design makes the Velocity both faster and more maneuverable than other kayaks of it's length. Entry level paddlers can get started with an efficient design that is stable, comfortable and predictable. When your skills improve and are ready to push the envelope (quicker rivers up to class III whitewater, multi-day backcountry treks, coastal paddle trails, or ocean surfing) the capabilities of the Velocity won't let you down.

Unique By Design. Concave keels in series accomplish a number of results in paddling performance. As the Velocity is propelled forward, the series of keels set-up laminar flow of water beneath the hull, enhancing the boats ability to track. In addition, a slight skeg incorporated into the stern increases this directional stability. Also, the multiple keels compress the water creating lift, the Velocity will actually plane.
From a structural standpoint, the many keels provide tremendous stiffness to the hull, this adds to the boats efficiency performance and longevity. By integrating volume enough for overnight camping, it also offers stability enough for the novice paddler, fisherman, birder or photographer. By combining these design principles with a moderate degree of rocker and a flat-bottom at midship the versatility of the Velocity is astounding.

Nowhere else will you find a kayak with so much potential for so many types of paddling. The Velocity will be very much at home in class II water, fishing lakes, rivers, salt-marshes, harbors or light overnight coastal excursions. We are excited to provide a kayak that offers such a bounty of possibilities.

Flight & Max Flight

Maximum Flight The Flight fully equipped for sea-touring. Complete outfitting includes: sealed bow and stern bulkheads with oversized hatches forward and aft, adjustable touring seat, thigh pads, ample deck tie-downs, and retractable skeg.

Max Velocity & Max Flight come standard with a drop skeg. A fully operational directional rudder system is an available option.

Flight Much of what we’ve learned from experience with the Velocity has been applied to the creation of the Flight. As the smaller sibling of the Velocity, the Flight provides all the performance at a significantly lighter weight. Smaller paddlers will delight in paddling a kayak created to meet their particular needs. The design foundation is based on the low center of gravity that comes with being a smaller paddler. Let's take advantage of this critical element of kayaking. A low profile makes it easy to reach the water to paddle and reduces the effects of wind. By making the beam narrower, the kayak settles into the water to greatly enhance performance and dramatically increasing efficiency. Tunnel-hull construction not only provides tremendous structural integrity, it creates ample stability and super tracking.
