The hull design behind this kayak is our latest rendition of Hydro-Glide. A little shorter than the Trickster to make vertical moves easier, narrower hull to get it on edge easier, and more side bevel like the Disco for extra forgiveness. Dominatrix has a similar concept in deck design to the Trickster, but with much less volume in the ends than any Riot boat ever. In fact, this is the easiest kayak longer than 7 feet to flatwater cartwheel, and it'll link up those ends in the smallest, softest holes imaginable. Dominatrix is intended to be the link between the Riot Disco and the Riot Trickster in its style of paddling. Extremely forgiving, controllable and fun on the smallest river features like the Disco, yet retaining some of the speed, carving precision, agility and grace of the Trickster series. Extra volume in the knee area for super retentiveness, and relatively comfortable foot area so paddlers can sit in it all day. Balanced volume in the stern for controlled linked vertical ends, shorter for easy spins and shallow hole playing. Slip System hull for fast surfing, blinding spins and extra forgiveness. This is the dream boat for girls and guys that will bring out the hidden qualities you never knew you had.

If you're happy, you're successful.

Not a bad boat in the right hands. :hand: But for a beginner I would stay away. The long length might hinder your cartwheels and some other tricks, especially if your rivers are shallow and you don't have huge holes etc. For river running, this boat is very edgy. :yes: On a wave it's alright.

Personally I'd rather spend the extra cash on something a little newer in design. Riot offers some other excellent boats these days, as do Dagger, Wave Sport, Fluid, Liquid Logic, Pyranha etc. Shop around is my advice. Although as you say, the market is small your side of the world. :think:

Just my :2cents: Don't just go on advice given here. Try it if you can. If the owner won't let you, don't bother. Have fun..

(also, how heavy/tall are you? That helps too :grin:)

Look into Bliss Stick Kayaks I believe they are made in New Zeland so they should be readily avalible to you.
