British Freestyle Championships and Peak UK Challenge Final

Categories:

by

Well another weekend has flown by along with another event here in the UK. This time it was the British Freetstyle Championships held at Nottingham which was also the final of the 2006 Peak UK White Water Challenge Series.

Team Pyranha had a fairly srong showing in the British Champs with James Barnes making it through to the Semis of the Mens K1. Ben White came in 2nd in the squirt after an unlucky final ride in the knockout and I came in 2nd in the C1s. Richard Brooks did well but didn’t quite live up to his recent form placing just outside the cut for the semis.

Last days of summer

Categories:

Automn is slowly sneeking into the alps, but there are still some fun rivers to
run. The last two weekends I found the time to drive down there. We were blessed
with lots of sunshine and quite high waterlevels on the Ötztaler and Venter
Ache.

After two long days of backyard fishing on the French Broad, the Tuxedo generator is fixed now and has blessed us with two long days of backyard creeking on the Green! 7-5 ALL day. Here are some pics from yesterday of a warm sunny day on the Green.

Green Race Training

Categories:

by

Hi y’all. I dug up an old Pyranha friend that some of you might remember–the Creek280. Remember when it was a short boat? Well, now its considered a long boat and I plan on racing the Green in it this year. I was really afraid of it at first because it seemed so long and pointy, but I was actually really surprised at how well it handled. I think it will be the perfect boat for me to race in–its very fast and stable without being so long its unweildy. I usually paddle a small Burn (which I agree with DMP on–its the best most ingenious boat ever and I love it!), but I have made the transition to the Creek280 for training, only to make the switch again in New York next week to the Ammo…Thanks Pyranha for so many excellent fun kayaks to paddle and keep me happy!

but here at the Pyranha warehouse some of us still found a way to capture some quality carnage! Out and about in our PYRANHA RANGER doing some fishin’ down behind the Kayak Depot on the French Broad river.

Our fishin’ hole down by the KAyak Depot had a sweet seal launch spot for the canoe.

Burn Baby Burn

It has been a wonderful summer and fall is upon us in the southeast and I am so happy to be paddling the Burn. I absolutely love this boat and I just wanted to share with everyone what a fine creeking craft this boat is. I paddled the micro but was between sizes then went to the H2 but it just wasn’t the boat for creeking then I went on to the H3-245 where I was happy but was between the 235 and 245 and then-THE BURN. The small fits me perfectly and is so manuverable, stable and super fun on the creeks and rivers. I have introduced the small burn to many ladies that are looking for a creek boat and it has been a huge hit. The ladies finally have a creek boat that fits!!! Just wanted to say thanks to the boys at Pyranha for the BURN!~!

Pyranha invades US National Whitewater Center

Categories:

by

The Pyranha crew was invited to the new US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC for a day of checking out the new whitewater park, demoing some boats, and doing a little bit of racing. The course has three channels- a beginner channel, a freestyle channel, and a competition channel for racing, and a conveyor belt to get back to the top. While “concrete kayaking” has been going on in Europe, it’s something relatively new in the US, and the smooth channel and fast water and the idea of just riding the conveyor back to the top took a bit of getting used to. We all agreed that the course is awesome, and will only get better with some tweaking. Here are some pictures:

Hi all-

Had a chance to paddle the new Recoil (medium) for a couple of days over the last few weeks – on the Upper Gauley and Upper Yough – and have put together a review with some photos. Bottom line is, this is a GREAT new boat! Enjoy the teaser pics here, and follow the link to the full review:

Hello paddlers Dave Fusilli here just saying hello from PA.  I have been having a lot of fun in my new boats I,ve been able to put them to the test running the Green a few times in my new Burn and sending the 420 huge at the Gauley.  Everyone I’ve met so far involved with Pyranha have been really fun peeps and damn good paddlers.  Heading to Charlotte tomorrow morn with Jared for some racing then going to route the Green a few times then up to the Gauley to meet up with some good old boyz from CO.  Hope to see ya on the water soon.

 Peace,

Dave Fusilli
