History: 

Riot Kayaks established in 1997, was known as a leader in whitewater kayaking. However, in recent years, Riot Kayaks has undergone significant changes. The company was acquired by Kayak Distribution in 2009 and is now focussed on a broader range of recreational and fishing kayaks, expanding beyond its original whitewater roots.
