I paddled Pyranha’s 2nd edition Burn for years and loved it.\u00a0 It was my go-to kayak and I didn’t ever want to try anything else.\u00a0 So, when I heard Pyranha was re-vamping my beloved Burn, I was excited, curious, but mostly just scared.\u00a0 Worrying was worthless because the 3rd edition is indeed better (FACT, not just my opinion) and here’s why I’m so stoked.<\/p>\n

#1(#2)\u00a0 – Immediately, first difference I noticed was it’s speed.\u00a0 Noticeably faster<\/b>, the 3rd edition Burn, is longer and has a different Rocker profile than it’s predecessor.\u00a0 It has a fairly flat hull, with significant bow rocker,\u00a0 and less stern rocker.\u00a0 Not only helping to create a faster boat, this hull design makes the Burn exceptionally easy to boof<\/b>, which was my second observable difference. \u00a0The nose of the new Burn wants to stay on the surface of the water; it cruises over holes, resurfaces quickly, and boofs effortlessly.\u00a0 BAM!!<\/p>\n

#3 – Burns are known for their edges and the 3rd generation’s have been tweaked.\u00a0 I’m not a scientist and can’t tell you what Pyranha did to make the edges better<\/b> (I noticed less in the stern).\u00a0 But, the boat carves and I like that.\u00a0 Catching eddies is snappy and easy. \u00a0 And, the boat holds a line, which is real nice for getting exactly where you want to go!\u00a0 These edges are particularly noticeable and appreciated in pushy or swirly whitewater.<\/p>\n

#4 – The cockpit rim<\/b> has been redesigned so spray skirts stay on better!\u00a0 Nicer to carry as well.\u00a0 Win!<\/p>\n

#5 – The new Burn has a lower deck profile<\/b>, which means I don’t have to make a booster seat. \u00a0 Less volume directly in front of where you’re sitting is also nice for paddling, rolling, tucking, and all things which are done in a kayak.\u00a0 This also brings your knees in a lower and more secure position, leading to greater control of your Burn.<\/p>\n

The new Burn is your river running creek boat dream machine.\u00a0 But, seriously, it is.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and there are also some other slightly tweaked improvements; such as metal grab loops and a self-draining recessed drain plug.\u00a0 (I’m trying to say that water doesn’t pool up in the recession for the drain plug)\u2026 New logo.. cool colors<\/p>\n

She be LOVIN IT BRO<\/p>\n
