I'm looking into trading up to a creek boat and am interested in the Riot Magnum.  Unfortunitly I haven't been able to find a Riot ww dealer in Western Washington any ideas where I might be able to check one out?

Are you looking to try a Magnum 72 or a Magnum 80?

I thought Aquasports sold Riot.

There are a few shops that have riots sea kayaks in WA that will order you up a boat or you can contact Riot Directly.

They have basically left our region though, and thats why I never got another Riot after my Air! Why support them when they clearly don't care to have anything to do with us!!!

I'd like to try both but think the 72 will end up being the better fit due to my short torso.

Aquasports stopped carrying Riot a couple years back. There are still a couple Turbos and Snipers around but nothing current. Riot is trying to get back into the area but most shops don't want to pick up another brand right now. The economy (and boat sales) are already in a slump.

If you would like to try a 72 though, I have one that you could demo. Let me know if you want to try it and we can meet up somewhere to paddle.
