@@owenjones7620 Hey Owen, first off cheers for watching! When you’re looking for a large cockpit touring kayak it depends what your after most. If you want speed/efficiency then the Aventura 125 is kinda perfect. But if you’re after more stability then the Enduro 12 will certainly give you that, along with an adjustable seat system which is great and that safe on the water feeling. But the cockpit size is similar to the aventura 125 and it’s not as efficient cutting through the water (if that matters at all). Sounds like if you’re coming from a wide inflatable most hard shells will be better cutting through the water. For a bit of all the above and a much bigger cockpit then might be worth looking down the route of the old town Sorrento 126SK they have a great cockpit size, superb seat, efficient hull and feel stable on the water but are more pricey and you can’t get a spray deck for them. You would be able to fit in any of them from my experience of paddling these. Any other questions tho just let me know.

Thanks very much appreciate you watching and glad it was helpful. The Lime and Orange are popular but if you get in touch with your local Feelfree dealer they should be able to order it for you 👍

Hey, thanks for watching. I think as long as you don’t have really short arms it should be. I’m 5’6 and if I did that it would be a stretch to get it but I could with a little shuffle. So anyone any taller should be fine 👍

@@WaterWizardUK Thanks ! That’s really helpful to know , I’ve ordered the MV version of this kayak , just waiting patiently for delivery . In the meantime I’m ordering a few bits 👍 I’m 6ft 2 and it’ll be for camping trips etc so hopefully will be fine . Thanks again mate , really appreciate it .

Hi, no worries glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching. I think it would make a great 1st kayak. Plenty of cockpit room so you should feel relaxed while learning, but it won’t limit you in the long run and for fresh water paddling will do really well to develop you as a paddle. 👍

Thanks for watching 🙏. Hopefully you get out again soon. The warmer weather is almost here 👍

Hi, considering one of these myself, how do you find them with regards to carrying etc ?

I don’t carry much in it for my trips to be honest. What I do like is I can keep my disassembled kayak trolley in the back hatch. It was from Amazon and is a KingSaid 80Kg Foldable Kayak Trolley Cart Carrier Pneumatic Tyres Canoe Boat Transport Board. Hope this helps. Happy Kayaking

@@maxanhisbigscarydog501 i made a comment in the above comments you might like to read. 👍

Sirona is better then hydra? Thanks

Hi, thanks for watching I’m 169cm so we are similar there. I would recommend looking at the Hydra LV that is due for release in the next couple of month that should be a great kayak for a slightly smaller paddler. Failing that the Expression 14 is good for a smaller person fit, this does have a slightly less stable hill however with the v shape running front to back. 👍

Hi, Thanks for the watch! Yeah the Edge 11 has a good amount glide on flat waters and paddles smoothly thanks to its v-shaped hull. Enjoy your paddling!

@@WaterWizardUK ok thanks 👍👍

Hi, thanks for the watch. The skeg mechanism is super simple to use and it’s easy to see how it works in the video. But just for you I’ll make it simple 😂. Slide the mech next to the cockpit backwards skeg goes down. Click skeg mech next to cockpit up and the skeg goes back up. Really nothing too it. I’ll look forward to your more in depth skeg review when you make your content. Again cheers for the watch 👍👍.

Tricky to do that one on the water but Thanks for the feedback and watching 👍

I have one of these boats and love it. You can raise and lower by a small slider on the right side of the boat, above the water line. It’s attached to a cable and you slide it back and forth to raise and lower it. Very easy to do and a cool feature

Hi, Thanks for watching the video. So from my experience of the Enduros and Edges they have very different hill shapes. The Enduros generally have flatter bottom hulls, the Enduro 13 & 14 have tracking channels and the 12 has a very flat bottom. The 12 is designed for heavier paddlers and offers great stability. If you want a fast, efficient touring kayak then the Edge range is better suited to this. Which size Edge vs Which size Enduro are you looking at?

@@WaterWizardUK a practically brand new Enduro 13 for about 700USD. I feel like it’s hard to pass up.

Hi naturally it depends on what you want to take but the rear storage area has a great amount of room, then there is a bit of space behind the seat, as well as room on the decks under the deck bungees. Should be fine for a weekend trip but if your talking longer trips than that look at the Edge 15 or Riot Enduro 13. These have front and rear storage hatches. Cheers for watching!

@@WaterWizardUK i have but my problem is getting a train yo inverness , the shops for yakking gear there are limited (iv got 4 days with my daughter) then a few months soloing .. theres more hire places now up scotland than buying .. not ideal

Hi, thanks for watching and for your comment first off. Between the 2 the Edge 15 takes it for me, it just offers more as far as performance and progression goes. The Easky has a good stable hull shape, but the Edge 15 was quicker and a nicer paddle for me. Hope you get one soon and enjoy getting out on the water. 👍

@@WaterWizardUK Thanks so much for your response! Really helpful, can’t wait to join you out there!

I got a riot edge 11, mine came with this kit www.westsystem.no/p/22369/komfortpakke-til-kajakk. It’s in Norway, but maybe they could help you

Spraydeck for dagger mamba fits perfectly

Hi, I’m 169cm and weigh 56ish Kgs

Thank, you for your reply, I’m 5’7 and about 70kgs would I be in the upper weight for this boat, I really like the look of it, I had a romany surf for many years, and really enjoyed the comfort that it afforded me, I was able to bring my knees up as in a white water and had the option to paddle with them straight, would the idun afford me this luxury??????

The only option I have is to travel to Manchester, to have a seat in one, but until, restrictions are lifted this is not possible.

@@halfofeightskye Hi, you would be perfect in the paddler weight range that Norse recommend for the Idun. They recommend 40-80kg and you want to be upper middle of this really - 70kg is all good. 5ft 7 also wouldn’t be an issue. One of my friends paddled my Idun, he’s over the recommended weight and a little taller but still really enjoyed paddling it (even if he sunk it a little low 😜). You should be able to get yourself nice a locked in with bent knees - like in a whitewater kayak scenario but also have the leg freedom of movement to keep things nice and comfortable.

@@WaterWizardUK thank you , yeah that sounds great, I look forward to trying one out, Bonny looking boats, and by the looks of your video, fast as well!

Hi, That paddle was a 210cm Werner Corryvreken. I swapped it for an Ikelos now and I'm glad I did the Ikelos is such a nice paddle!

Hey, Cheers for watching I have one now for the next video. Should make it easier with the crzy wind I always get. Stay safe.

Thanks very much & thanks for watching. Sad times they can’t deliver to Ireland I guess that being composite couriers can be rough with these things. Pop on a ferry there is a shop in Manchester that has them 👍. Hope you manage to source one they are quality.

Hi, thanks for the watch. It all depends on leg length really but I think you should be ok. The volume around the thigh braces/front of the cockpit is good so you should have just enough room. I know a guy a little taller that can get in an Edge 15 - but like I say everyone’s legs are different sizes. Happy paddling!

Ayrton Genova Hi the Expression 15 is a lower volume kayak over all so when sitting in the cockpit you feel like you have way more room in the Riot Edge 15. The Expression has a more V shaped hull making in a little faster in a straight line but this is all relative and definitely depends on the paddlers ability too. The Edge is just as good at tracking and turning but will feel more stable on the water due to the extra volume compared to the expression. Any other specific questions on certain aspects of performance one to the other or which is better for certain type of paddlers just comment and I ll answer. Happy, safe paddling and thanks for watching!!!

@@WaterWizardUK so would the V make it a better choice for coastal kayaking? Am I right in the that the V gives it better secondary stability.

Ayrton Genova this is where it gets tricky as the V would make it slightly better and give you good secondary however ideally you might want some rocker for a costal kayak. You could use the Expression no problems, but not in heavier conditions. when it comes to surf and chop something like the hydra hull might be better as it blends more into the hull shape. The Expression is however very Quick and the most efficient hull of the 14-15ft touring kayaks. If you’re just looking for a fast 14-15ft touring kayak that you can use in light seas the Expression is quick and efficient.

@@WaterWizardUK hmmm back to the issue I keep coming across...... comprises. I want something beginner friendly we can grow into, maybe useable in a small chop and equally at home on the river. But mostly coastal. The hydra is above budget as I need to two and I font see them for sale used. It wont be till Christmas/new year so if I don't find a good used deal I'll hopefully score a good deal buying new.

Ayrton Genova hi, yeah it’s always a big problem trying to get the right compromise the hydra is Perfect for what you said you want to do but if it’s above budget that’s a problem. Kayaks are in short supply everywhere right now manufacturers are working flat out but struggling to keep up. Hydras generally don’t come up used as they are great kayaks and people love them so never get rid. Most other cheaper kayaks would be fine for touring and expedition work but when you want something with the playful edge the Hydra ticks that box. When things return to normal stocking levels later in the year you might find the Hydra returning budget 😉

not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last months xD

@Chaim Payton definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

@Chaim Payton Yea, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)

@@chaimpayton9166 your right, I don't give a dam! Bye.

Es ist ein tolles Kajak. Danke fürs zuschauen

Hi, they are both very good kayaks first off. The Riot is best suited to fresh water paddling and for the money is hands down one of the best long touring kayaks on the market. The Hydra has one of the most comfortable seating systems in it - that leg raiser is superb. The hydra has a little more rocker front to back so can be a little more playful if you’re thinking of doing Some occasional sea work. Both are really well made and for longer distance touring honestly I think most paddlers would be really happy with either kayak. All comes down to where you see yourself paddling that kayak really. Thanks for watching and your comment.

@@WaterWizardUK Thank you for replying, appreciate it! I will be solely using the kayak in the sea, so will probably opt to get the hydra, plus the added attachment rails will be useful for adding fishing rod holders! Is there any difference in quality of construction between the two?

Lewis from a construction point nothing between them they are both made from the same plastic. The attachment rails are really useful for accessories. Hope you manage to get hold of one - all kayaks are in short supply right now. Happy paddling.

@@WaterWizardUK well that answers my question as I was short listing this as an inland coastal kayak along the Jurassic coast. Mainly for the price point against the expression or stratos. As I'm after 2 kayaks I'm trying to keep close to £1k but may stretch to £1500. I'm also looking at the used market.

Hi, I love this kayak. I have had mine a month or so now and it’s so great to paddle. I’m so glad I got one.

Thorny_Boy718 Hi, Riot don’t do any hip pads or Any shims you pad out the small amount of padding that is in the Edge 11 already. You can however use the Dagger or Wave Sport hip pad kits. They aren’t too expensive normally £30-£40 they work off wrap around pull buckles so you can wrap they around the seat pillar to attach them in. They come with Velcro too but you don’t need to use that if you don’t want, they are held well with the pull buckle. Happy and safe paddling!

Hi, I can put a size 5 spraydeck on this kayak without any problems but if you want an easy fit you could go for a size 6 deck - this might cause some pooling of water on the looser size 6 deck thought. The cockpit is 97cm x 52cm you are correct. Big deck sizing is normally 89-98cm x 48-58cm (I double check this on Palms size guide for you). The size you have put is closer to keyhole or size 4 - this wouldn’t fit this kayak. If you’re looking at a riot nylon spraydeck they do their sizing totally differently and you would want an XXL spraydeck size for a good fit. Hope this helps. Any other questions just let me know I’m always happy to help and cheers for watching. Happy paddling.

Water Wizard thanks very much for your reply buddy. Have a nice weekend.

Hi, yeah I’ll do a more detailed review over the winter now I have my own Norse Idun - which I do love to paddle.

The Riot Mako 12 Pedal Drive kayak is quite the kayak. Nice choice! Enjoy that one out on the water and thanks for watching/commenting.
