The Riot Mako 10 kayak is a versatile and compact sit-on-top vessel designed for recreational paddlers looking to explore calm lakes, rivers, and coastal waters with ease and comfort. Measuring 10 feet in length, the Mako 10 strikes a balance between stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for paddlers of all skill levels.

Constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) using a roto-molding process, the Mako 10 boasts durability and longevity. Its rugged build ensures resilience against bumps, scrapes, and UV exposure, making it well-suited for regular use in various water conditions.

The hull design of the Mako 10 features a stable and wide platform with a pronounced keel and chine lines. This configuration enhances tracking and stability, allowing paddlers to maintain course efficiently and navigate gentle currents and small waves with confidence.

The cockpit of the Mako 10 is spacious and open, providing ample room for paddlers to move comfortably and access gear stored on the deck. Molded footrests accommodate paddlers of different heights, while the molded seat provides basic comfort for casual outings on the water. Additional comfort can be enhanced with optional accessories such as padded seat cushions.

Storage options on the Mako 10 are practical and user-friendly. It typically includes a rear tank well with bungee cords, providing secure storage for gear such as dry bags, coolers, or fishing equipment. Molded-in cup holders and accessory mounts offer convenient locations for placing beverages or attaching accessories like fishing rod holders or GPS devices.

For transport and handling, the Mako 10 is equipped with molded handles at the bow, stern, and sides, facilitating easy lifting and carrying to and from the water. Its lightweight design ensures maneuverability both on land and in water, making it accessible for solo paddlers to manage.

In summary, the Riot Mako 10 kayak is an excellent choice for recreational paddlers seeking a stable, durable, and user-friendly vessel for exploring calm waters. Its versatility, comfort features, and robust construction make it well-suited for leisurely paddling adventures, fishing trips, or simply enjoying nature on the water.

Pedal drive kayaks are becoming more and more popular, especially with anglers as they enable hands free propulsion allowing the fisherman to cast and play a fish whilst moving. The Riot Mako 10 comes with the new Impulse drive propeller system allowing the kayaker to pedal both forwards and backwards controlling the direction of the kayak with a hand operated lever for the rudder. The Impulse Drive unit is very light and can easily be removed and securely clipped to the bow of the kayaks when in shallow water.

The Mako is very well thought out with a comfortable seat that can be moved back and forth on rails to accommodate for different height pedalers. At 27kg with the seat and drive removed, the Mako 10 is one of the lightest pedal drive kayaks around and can be car topped by one person.

Despite its light weight, the Mako has a full complement of fishing accessories already fitted including several gear tracks, flush mounted rod holders and even a fully fitted anchor trolley on each side.

If you are looking for light and easily manoeuvrable fishing kayaks with excellent stability that can be powered by just using your feet then look no further!

Powered by Riot's Impulse Drive, the lightest drive on the market.

Including a high comfortable movable seat, pilot rudder system with hand steering, abundant tracks to mount all your additional gear, reflective lifeline, 4 flush mount rod holders, high comfort side and back carry handles.
