The Perfect Portable Platform!!!
I wanted a fishing kayak I could leave on my camper because there are several occasions where we show up to our destination and there's amazing water nearby. I did a ton of research and saw that there's a new model coming out but liked the fact that this was available now. I've only had it out on the water once on a large lake and it performed amazing. I have it completely decked out with all kinds of yak attack accessories now and can't wait to use it again!

Lake and River worthy craft for serious fisherman!
Amazing in all ways!!! I bought this to keep on the camper for lakes and streams. I'm an avid fisherman and wanted something that easily stores, hauls and is truly capable. This blew all my expectations! I ordered lots of Yakattack accessories for it as well so it's full decked out. Extremely stable, easy to stand and cast, tracks beautifully, and very heavy duty!!!

Rival Fishing Favorite
Very well constructed, durable (has held up well in our local mtn. rivers), light, and very portable. I have several sit on top kayaks. The Rival has become my favorite. I am going to add some “foot cups.”

PERFECT for me!!
The Rival has several qualities that make it a perfect fit for me. I love to fish moving water which requires carrying the boat to and from the river/creek. As an older man, the 30 lb weight makes this very easy. I often like to get off/out of my kayak during a trip and wade fish. The Rival's stability and profile make this sooooooo easy. Lastly, I travel some in my sprinter van so the small footprint [duffle bag] makes it very easy to bring along The Rival is not the fastest or most maneuverable kayak, but I LOVE it for the type of fishing I like to do!

Watch your weight....
Total weight, as packed, is 45 pounds. This doesn't include any other accessory or the paddle. For those wanting to take to Bahamas/ Caribbean for flats fishing, beware of weight limitations for these airlines.

We've used since last summer on river Class ll and l rapids, and flat water. Absolutely great product! Stable and fun. Easy to paddle and manuever. And we're not sitting in cold water! Thank you NRS!!!

Excellent all round kayak.
Use on rivers, streams, lakes. Extremely stable even in rough water. The seat allows you to sit a little higher above the water. Water drains if it comes onto the deck. Light weight. Has a pack to carry with straps. It all fits in the pack for storage. It fit easily in my apartment for storage. I received many compliments from other SUP'ers and Kayakers. I'm 67, 6 ft., 240lbs. It handles me very well and I can handle it with no problem.

Great product. Great price!!
I have been looking to replace the SOT kayak I currently use for stream fishing. The STAR Rival has the dimensions, capacity and light weight I have been looking for. The sale price was the final…
