Get excited, the new and third edition of the Pyranha BURN is finally here! I had the chance to paddle it for the last couple weeks and it’s an awesome boat! The boat is super easy to paddle and feels really smooth down the river and in and out of eddies. It tracks really well and allows you to throw some aggressive moves, it’s a super fun boat to paddle.
It’s big nose allows you to boof easily over anything and keeps you dry going through waves and holes keeping its speed really nicely. The outfitting it great 2014 Connect allows you to really feel good with your boat and control it with your body.
Overall it’s an awesome little boat and can’t wait to paddle mine for the next season starting so soon! I think this boat is going to be great both for teaching/learning and river running, creeking and racing! So pretty excited about this design, make sure you check it out and try one cause its worth it!

The third generation Burn is the latest in Pyranha’s long line of cutting edge river runners. Paddlers have come to rely on the Burn’s combination of playful hull, precise edges and forgiving deck profile for everything from the beginnings of whitewater to Class V creeks.
The new Burn refines these features further to give you more speed and drive, more precise tracking in turbulent water and effortless boofs. The Burn’s combination of stability and precision make it a proven all round performer–whether you are a beginner running Class II or an expert firing up big drops.

Here’s a little video about the new Burn III from Pyranha. I had the chance to paddle the M size on the Sick-Line race course in Austria at a good flow and paddle it as bit more in Sort. My impressions on the boat were great and I can’t wait to have the large with me and paddle it everywhere. The boat is really fast and easy to track, it’s really maneuverable and precise which is great for tight lines and catching eddies. I’m really stoked on this boat and I thin it’s going to be really fun to paddle!
