Need advise on repairing and patching my older Riot composite (fiberglass, kevlar, graphite) kayak.

Need advise on repairing and patching my older Riot composite (fiberglass, kevlar, graphite) kayak.

Riot stopped producing composite (fiberglass, graphite, kevlar) models before 2020. So these models are unfortunately no longer under warranty.  We only make HDPE polyethylene plastic kayaks now and some ABS Thermoformed plastic.

So for your repair of an older composite Riot Kayak model, this article and video may help. Also see the PDF document to download at bottom of the page.


Also, if you search for composite kayak repair on YouTube, you will likely will find lots more instructional videos too to guide you.

Hope this helps
