Showbiz

Showbiz was the first Riot kayak I had the opportunity to play with, it was also the first boat I used with such straight lines on it. So it felt weird when feeling out the edges for the initial few runs. But if you hang in there for a bit it really doesn't take long to figure it out. It's a nice tough boat to go thundering through a river with and it can play nicely too. The riot boats are built out of xytec plastic, very tough, and repairable. A nice feature if your one of those people who like to really move and shake everything around you. Showbiz has LOTS of leg room, a feature that I really liked, easy ajustment for leg length. The moulded seat however was difficult to get set up. I spent a lot of time here. Had no problems manoeuvering this kayak around the river or ocean waves, a small mod to the tail of the boat ( adding a surfing fin ) really enhanced its wave riding ability. Rolls nicely. This kayak is not for smaller paddlers, my wife of 5' 2" , 110 lbs was quite lost in this one.
