Riviera T Sit-On-Top Kayak - 2017

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do, as we paddle around the lake in the Jackson Kayak Riviera-T Kayak built for two. This tandem sit-on-top kayak is a certified joy to paddle as you and your pal hit the water together. The "Rivi-T" is built to be used and abused, so drag it to the water's edge and back again without worry—the molded-in skid plate can be replaced, because you might never get another chance to take your great grandma Ethel for a trip around the lake again.

If fun is the focus, stability must reign supreme. While the Rivi-T might not be steady enough for on-water aerobics, both beginners and soggy river rats alike will find success in a variety of conditions. Seasoned paddlers will prance along class II rivers, while neophyte 'yakkers shouldn't find themselves treading water in the middle of a mirrored lake. Molded-in seating for two won't leave your cheeks numb, and the three different foot positions let you kick back and relax or sit up straight and paddle with vigor. Two day hatches give you and a passenger the chance to store a mini dry bag with lunch and a camera, while the open bungee storage offers quick access to necessities. Bounce across happy surf and you might get a splash or three of water in the boat, so just open the drain plug and let the water run free. The grab handles are integrated into the body of the boat, so you'll never lose your grip while dragging the Rivi-T towards your next water-based adventure.
