New @ PADDLEexpo 2017 – Pyranha, 9R II

Despite being designed primarily as a kayak for extreme racing, the release of the Pyranha 9R kick-started a creek boat design revolution; perhaps it was the purity of the design which made it so unique, and ultimately led to its success.

For 2018, Pyranha will release an updated version of the 9R which takes on board feedback from the countless paddlers who have been enjoying the #FastIsFun experience, adding in a few tweaks and extra features that make it all the more suitable for use as an everyday kayak, without reducing the thrill of the ride.
