Shipping Damage Free Guarantee
Accessory Shipments
Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.
It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.
Description
The Eddyline Rio 120 is built for the smaller-framed paddler. Eddyline says that plainly, and the numbers back it: 24 inches of beam, a 31.8 by 15.5-inch cockpit, and 35 pounds. This is not a big boat scaled down on the spec sheet. It is a hull drawn around a smaller person.
That narrow beam is what makes it fun. Eddyline calls the hull playful and efficient with nimble handling, and a 24-inch boat responds to a lean and a stroke in a way a 28-inch rec boat never will. You still get comfortable stability — it is just stability sized to the paddler instead of stability from sheer width.
Two 10-inch round hatches, retractable carry handles that tuck away instead of slapping the hull, performance foot braces and the Infinity Seat System. Rated to 270 pounds. Just under twelve feet.
Every Eddyline is built from Carbonlite 2000. It is thermoformed rather than rotomolded, from a sheet of two or three compatible layers fused into one. Eddyline’s own description is that it “looks and performs like fiberglass” at a lower cost, and the outer surfaces are harder than other plastics and gel coatings, which is what gives you the abrasion and UV resistance. Compared with a polyethylene hull — cheap and impact resistant, but heavy and prone to abrasion and distortion — you get dimensional stability, real stiffness, and a boat that stays light without going to composite money.

Key Features
- Drawn for Smaller Paddlers: 24 inches of beam and a 31.8 by 15.5-inch cockpit. A smaller paddler is connected to this boat instead of sitting in it.
- Playful, Efficient Hull: Eddyline’s words. A narrow hull answers a lean and a stroke the way a wide rec boat cannot.
- 35 lbs: Light enough that carrying it to the water alone is not the hardest part of the day.
- Two 10" Round Hatches: Larger openings than the Sky boats get, so gear actually goes through them.
- Retractable Carry Handles: They tuck away instead of slapping the hull the whole time you paddle.
- Performance Foot Braces: A step up from the recreational braces, for paddlers who want to drive the boat with their legs.
- Infinity Seat System: Eddyline’s seat with a backrest, built for long days.
- Carbonlite 2000 Hull: Fiberglass looks and performance without fiberglass money or polyethylene weight.
Eddyline Rio 120 Questions, Answered
Am I too big for the Rio 120?
Eddyline sizes it for small paddlers and rates it to 270 pounds. The deciding number is the cockpit: 31.8 by 15.5 inches is a snug fit by design. If that sounds tight, the Sky 120 or a Sandpiper will suit you better.
Rio 120 or Sky 120?
Both are about twelve feet. The Rio is 24 inches wide with a small cockpit and a livelier hull, built for smaller paddlers. The Sky is 26 inches wide with a 35-inch cockpit and leans toward light touring. Body size usually makes this decision before preference does.
Is a 24-inch beam tippy?
It is less initially stable than a 28-inch rec boat, and that is the trade for how it handles. Eddyline describes it as comfortably stable, and for a smaller paddler whose weight sits lower and more centered it feels settled rather than nervous.
What are retractable carry handles?
Handles that fold away against the hull when you are not using them. On a boat you are carrying to the water by yourself, that is the difference between a handle you grab and a handle that bangs your leg all day.
What is Carbonlite 2000?
It is Eddyline’s thermoformed hull material, and it is the reason these boats weigh what they weigh. A sheet of two or three compatible layers is fused into one and formed, rather than rotomolded. Eddyline says it “looks and performs like fiberglass” at a lower cost, with harder outer surfaces than other plastics and gel coatings for better abrasion and UV resistance. Scratches and gouges that do not penetrate the substrate are repairable.
What is the warranty?
Eddyline covers every kayak against defects in materials and workmanship for three years from the date of purchase. Deck rigging is covered for two years. The warranty is limited to the original owner and only takes effect once the warranty registration is completed, so do that when the boat arrives. Eddyline never covers scupper cart damage, freight damage, improper storage, improper use, abuse, normal wear and tear, or color fading from UV.
How do I take care of it?
Rinse it with clean fresh water after you paddle — that is usually all it needs. Never use acetone, other strong solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners on an Eddyline. Store it indoors if you can; if it lives outside, get it up off the ground, cover it, and secure it. Carbonlite is UV resistant, but years of direct sun will still break it down. Eddyline recommends treating the hatch covers regularly with something like 303 Aerospace Protectant.
How does the Eddyline Rio 120 ship?
Two ways. If you are inside our delivery area, local delivery shows up as a shipping option at checkout and we bring the boat to you ourselves. We call ahead to set a meet-up, and since we do the unloading there is nothing for you to inspect or sign at the curb. Otherwise it ships LTL freight with a carrier running a 99.9% damage-free rate. On a freight delivery, look the boat over before you sign the receipt and write down any damage you see. That one step protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours. We email the full details once your order is placed.
