The Eddyline Rio is designed specifically for smaller-framed paddlers seeking a recreational kayak that balances stability, agility, and efficiency. Weighing only 35 lbs, this lightweight kayak is effortless to carry, transport, and launch, making it perfect for paddlers who want an easy, stress-free experience. Its sleek 11’9” hull provides nimble handling on lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers (Class I-II), while the Infinity Seat System ensures lasting comfort for all-day adventures. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced paddler looking for a responsive ride, the Rio delivers a smooth and playful experience.

Smart Storage & Comfort for Extended Paddling

The Eddyline Rio is built for those who love to explore. With two 10-inch round hatches, bungee deck rigging, and recessed deck fittings, this kayak with storage hatches offers ample space for gear, snacks, and essentials. The adjustable performance foot braces and supportive backrest allow for a customized fit, ensuring a secure and ergonomic paddling position. The retractable carry handles make transport simple, whether you’re loading it onto a vehicle or carrying it to the water’s edge.

Efficient, Playful, and Ready for Adventure

Built for spirited performance, the Rio’s efficient hull design lets you glide effortlessly across the water while maintaining excellent stability. Ideal for both recreational paddling and learning advanced paddle strokes, this kayak encourages you to expand your skills. Whether you’re paddling on calm lakes, coastal inlets, or winding rivers, the Rio’s versatility makes every trip enjoyable. With Eddyline’s signature durability and sleek aesthetics, this kayak is ready to go wherever your next adventure takes you.

Note: Contrary to the Forbes magazine ‘2022 Buying Guide’, the Rio is not suitable for Arctic or other expeditions. Let Riverbound Sports help guide you to the right kayak for your paddling conditions.

Technology: Thermoform Composite Technology

Eddyline has been a leader of innovation in manufacturing and design technology throughout our history. In 1995, the company pioneered thermoform composite technology for the construction of kayaks. While thermoforming is a standard manufacturing process, the raw materials used vary significantly between kayak manufacturers. Our proprietary Carbonlite™ material is the result of years of refinement. Carbonlite looks and performs like fiberglass with clear advantages over other plastics:
