Good day team<\/p>\n

I have been drooling over the African classics, the Zam and the White Nile for a long time. This past fall, accompanied by fellow Pyranha paddler Ric Moxon, \u00c2\u00a0I finally got my turn to paddle the big and warm water.\u00c2\u00a0Our weapon of choice was the Varun<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fall was a great one. I got to paddle the Grand Canyon and the African classics. For the longest time I couldn’t decide what boat to take. Then the Varun came out and Jamie hooked me up with one of the first. Thanks man!<\/p>\n

The boat did very well on the entire trip. It runs big water well, stays on line and can still surf some waves. It is the modern day InaZone. Bravo!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Below are some pictures from the trip<\/p>\n
