I have had the pleasure to paddle a variety of kayaks in my years of paddling. I have really liked some of them, and others where just ok. Then there are the kayaks you just know are good from the very first moment you take a seat in it. The new Pyranha 9R falls into …

9R Love
Th 9R is still ruling my world at the moment, it really is the boat that I have been looking for when you’re after a day of making silky moves and taking beautiful lines on the river. Ive actually found it to be a great all round river boat and not just for racing, its really …

ZE 1!
Paddling is all about finding gear that suits you. Playboats are made for surfing and throwing loops. Creekboats are made to run waterfalls and steep rivers. You’ll be able to loop with a creekboat and to run rivers (and few waterfalls) with a playboat, but some boats are going to be better than others to …

Columbia River Gorge: Rain, Rivers, and Demshitz
I found no shortage of any of these things on a recent trip to the gorge. After a long drought in California and a few days of good work I had a little money in my pocket and no reason to hang around home so I decided a quick trip up to the PNW was …

Pyranha Memories: The Rob Roy, A Happy Accident
You may be aware that we recently released a Sit-on-Top version of the Pyranha Fusion, which has just been awarded ‘Coolest Kayak of the Show’ at PaddleExpo 2014; however, this isn’t the first Sit-on-Top kayak that Pyranha has produced! Way back in the day, around ’86 or ’87 (maybe even earlier!) when most whitewater kayaks …

Season 2014 Recap
2014 was a busy year for me, and for the first time in a while I did not manage to venture on an international kayaking adventure. Instead I had to explore my own backyard a bit more. Fortunately, my backyard is beautiful British Columbia, a true whitewater Mecca. A below average snowpack had us worried …

First Impressions of the 9R
I’ve been back in the UK a few weeks now and have had the chance to get out in the 9R a few times. Long story short: it is my new favourite boat. After a day at CIWW I was sold on it as a great boat for messing around in on easy whitewater but …

Gerd Serrasolses 2014 year review
I guess you are normally supposed to do this before the year actually ends but I was busy traveling in southern Chile so I didn’t have time then. Here it is anyway! 2014 was a great year, super fun and almost 100% injury free with lots of kayaking on my favorite destinations! So stoked to be living this …

PQ newcomer
BONJOUR À TOUS! First things first, I’m more than excited to be a part of the TeamPyranha! Since I’ve been paddling, I’ve spent most of my time in slalom boats. As they are reactive and challenging, I always chose boats because of how they give me feedback throughout my surfs, runs or “trainings” but also how …
