Pyranha, like Kokatat are celebrating 50 years in business and today have released images of their new whitewater kayak.

The first demo kayak is on its way and if UK customers get in quick there is a possibility of some custom coloured kayaks. See below:
Continue readingWaka kayaks have released two new kayaks for 2021, the Wee Goat and Billy Goat.

Continue readingThe Mamba has been around since 2005 with a major revamp in 2012. The Code is Dagger’s newest kayak and has been designed to take the place of the Mamba in the line up.
In following table I have listed the three main sizes of the kayaks and matched although some of the dimensions of a say a middle of the size range Mamba could also be easily compared against the smallest Code.

At the time I hypothesised that it could likely be a replacement for the long serving Mamba. Many online suggested that this couldn’t be the case and it must just be a smaller Phantom.
However it looks like I was right on the mark with details of the Dagger Code being leaked online by a number of retailers in several countries. As yet details are not available on the Dagger site.

Continue readingWe’re here today with a full walkthrough of the most radical new kayak in the game; the Verus Hellbender. With a stern that engages like a dream, squirts are effortless and you’ll be staring at the sky all day long. Unlike most traditional full-slice boats, this kayak was designed to be wave oriented. With the Hellbender’s narrow planning hull, and hard edges this boat is a sportscar on a wave with a thirst for fast carves. Faster than most, you’ll leave your buddies in the eddy with a serious case of boat envy. Honestly, the best way to know is to paddle one yourself! Follow along on social media to keep up with our demo schedule. Or, shoot us a message and request to try one out!
