Three factors meant this weekend was always going to be a great weekend, all the usual suspects heading to the same location mixed with a (heavy) sprinkling of rain and Pyranha launching the new Burn.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning saw frantic activity around the Pyranha stand as the majority of UK Team P were picking up their new Burn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to go play, with padding being thrown around and some rather desperate sharing of a rather rubbish screw driver everyone headed out to go and play on the various rivers around Dartmoor.<\/p>\n

Saturday night was spent catching up, partying through the small hours and wondering if torrential rain\u00c2\u00a0outside would give enough water for some of the more adventurous Dartmoor runs.<\/p>\n

Sunday came with a very thick head, but, the rivers were definitely up, so off to play again.<\/p>\n

So what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the 2010 Burn like? Well when I was told the Burn was going to get a once over, you could probably hear me scream the other side of the pond! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no hidden fact everyone loves the Burn. So how could Pyranha possibly make it better? Well the guy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in R&D have listened to you lot and given you something you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always wanted.<\/p>\n

The 2010 Burn is still all Burn, but on steroids, its quicker, quicker acceleration & faster in a straight line. It hold\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s line better in the white stuff, yet a quick paddle placement and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll change direction on demand. More rocker and more carve means you be boofing and flairing your way down the river but still get that crisp Pyranha signature carve across eddy lines. In short it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a lot of fun, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe me go try one yourself, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll hit the stores in the next couple of weeks\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
