Eddyline Rio 140 Recreational Kayak

Eddyline Rio 140 Sit Inside Recreational Kayak The Eddyline Rio 140 is the top-performing model in Eddyline's recreational lineup — a 14-foot sit-inside kayak that brings genuine sea kayak performance to a familiar, approachable package. Built with Eddyline's proprietary Carbonlite thermoformed construction, the Rio 140 weighs just 45 pounds while delivering the rigidity, glide, and hull efficiency of kayaks twice its price. The efficient hard-chine hull tracks with purpose and turns with ease, rewarding developing paddlers who want to grow their skills without outgrowing their boat. With a 360-pound weight capacity and a fit geared toward medium to large-framed paddlers, it's a versatile hull that handles everything from glassy lake mornings to inshore coastal paddles and Class I–II river runs. Inside the generous 35" x 18.5" cockpit, the Rio 140 is outfitted for performance and comfort in equal measure. Thigh braces and hip and thigh pads provide the contact points needed for confident edging and control, while the sliding Infinity Seat System adjusts both fore and aft for optimal trim on the water. The ergonomic foot braces are easy to adjust even while underway, and the adjustable backrest offers multiple height and recline positions for all-day support. Recessed deck fittings keep the deck clean and snag-free, while retractable carry handles make transport simple from garage to water's edge. Two sealed hatches — a 10-inch round bow hatch and a 17-inch narrow oval stern hatch — provide watertight dry storage backed by dual bulkheads for safety flotation. Front deck bungees, rear re-entry lines, and perimeter deck lines complete the fully rigged package, giving the Rio 140 the safety and storage infrastructure of a dedicated touring kayak in a hull that recreational paddlers can immediately feel at home in. For M/L paddlers looking for a high-performance recreational kayak with the confidence to take on more water, the Rio 140 is the natural step up.
