Riviera

It took one time sitting in the Riviera for me and my friends to fall in love. We are all different shapes and heights and it is by far the most comfortable kayak I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. 5 minutes sitting in one and we bought a single and a tandem. We paddle for hours and never get back pain or numb butt. They are simply the best!

I’ve kayaked many times but this past year tried the Rivera for the first time as a rental. Now I’m buying one! Easiest kayak I’ve ever used. Well balanced, smooth in the water. Excellent. No shoulder pain after hours on the water.

We love these! Simple, stable in the water, easy to clean, easy to load and haul, very sturdy, comfortable even for the nearly 300# person. We have a single and a double seater!

I talked a fellow out of his Rivera while on a float down Current river.
They were everywhere and a staple for outfitter rentals. (Means they are tough)
I was impressed with how nimble and easy to move the Riviiera is.
It wouldn't be much on a week out or overnight trip, maybe overnight with a minimum of gear, but a superb, fast, fun, easy to get in and out of and maneuverable kayak.
I borrowed it from a rather small fellow who said he found it comfortable as did I at 6'3" and 230 lbs.
I seldom day trip but as I get older I may. When I do I will certainly find one of these if they are to be had.

The Jackson Riviera Kayak is very comfortable, I went 6 hours down the creek 2 days after I got it and absolutely love it. I like the fact of sitting on top and not feeling like I would fall off as I was comfortably sitting in the deep seat with a nice back and it didn't hurt my back at all!! I didn't like being enclosed like my old Kayak. I am a 5ft 10 women in my 40's and this fit me very well with lots of leg room and suprisingly it was very easy to get in and out of on the creek. Hope this helps anyone who has considered this purchase and was hesitant. Love IT!!!!!!!!!!
