This year is shaping up to be one heck of a good year, we have three new boats to paddle and so many places to paddle them. Â Right now I want to talk briefly about Pyranha’s NEW playboat the JED, I really like how fast, loose, and big this boat goes. Â As Dave Fusilli has …

This year we spent 3 weeks in Mexico in the winter, to escape all the snow in austria. Some rivers have been to low, some others may to high, but anyway we had great fun on and outside of the rivers. Is there a better place to test my new SHIVA then on the mexican …

Within a year of learning how to roll, I put a Uganda trip to surf the Nile Special on my ‘to-do’ list. For the past 3 years I have been haphazardly making plans and searching flights to Entebbe, hoping to check it all out before the dam flooded the top section. Finally, this November Craig …

Hey, I just returned from a 21 day raft supported trip down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. I was able to take the new Varun down, this was my first time getting to know this boat and I must say we became pretty good friends. The Varun had enough hull speed that I …

If your looking for a river running playboat and have not had a chance to paddle the Varun yet all I’m saying is you need to try it out!  It’s slowly warming up out there.  Good time to test drive  a boat for the season.  Check here to watch the Varun in action.

Good day team 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,  I finally got my turn to paddle the big and warm water. Our weapon of choice was the Varun
