I had long dreamed of getting my face wet on some classic Californian granite gems. May 2013 was going to be the chance to fulfil some of those fantasies. Arriving in Portland on April 30th, I quickly went about collecting my Large Burn and other necessary pieces of paddling paraphernalia. The plan was simple: Get …

I want to write up my review of the Nano and keep it short and sweet, just like the boat. Living in the South East, we have been getting hammered with rain. It was a great time to get out and put this boat to the test. First, a bit of background; I am a …

We also attended the North West Creeking Comp at the East Fork of the Lewis and Canyon Creek. The NWCC was good fun with many laps at Sunset, one of the best waterfalls to get started and a couple races down the Lewis, a short section but with some nice rapids in a tight canyon. …

I’ve been hanging around the Pacific North West in the USA for the last month now, and it’s definitely one of the best places to be. Amazing rivers, super nice people and beautiful landscape everywhere, loving this place! Â We drove down from Vancouver, BC with Ali and right after the border we stopped in …

A few thoughts on the new Pyranha Nano. I will start off by admitting that I wasn’t convinced by the Nano initially. Not by the concept, or by the original prototype during testing.
