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.
