So after receiving my new Pyranha Shiva I’m pleased to say it is standing up to my expectations! I figured I have now paddled it enough times to give an accurate review so hear goes. My first impressions of the boat are the speed it carries threw waves and how the boat runs. I cant …

Retrospective
Pyranha’s 40th anniversary year is drawing to a close.

Little trip to Ötz Valley
This autumn i had the best trip to the famous Ötz Valley ever. Even when i didn´t have the chance to participate at the Sick Line Race it was worse to drive 600km each way to the Austrian alps. The weather was so perfect with blue skys and temperatures like in summer time.  We paddled …
