The specs for the large Pyranha Ripper are now live and the boat is now in production.
Specifications:
Tag: 9ft (Page 1 of 2)
The Royal Flush is on its way. The new kayak will be 276cm long, and 67cm wide. This means the Royal Flush is not designed to fit in the sub 9ft racing category.
German kayak company Lettmann will be releasing the Lettmann Manta very shortly. This kayak is designed to be faster than the Granate.
Team Pyranha kayaker Mark Mulrain takes a closer look at the 9R and Machno from Pyranha.
So the latest and greatest Pyranha Kayak has been released and been around for a while now, The Machno. This boat is Pyranha’s take on the latest generation of creekers. It’s faster, has a bit more edge and a more developed rocker profile than the big, round, safe-but-boring creekers of old. I think you’d see the same kind of trends in most of today’s designs.
If you didn’t check out the post about the #themystery you need to have a read of that before going any further.
I met with the guys from Spade Kayaks almost two years ago in Nuremberg at the Paddle Expo. Despite the Ace of Spades only being out for a short period of time I asked them about the next kayak. Even then a design called the Black Jack or “Jack” was already being thought about.
Today (22 August 2017) the Black Jack will start coming of the production line. The Ace of Spades, Spade kayaks first production kayak was and still is blow molded.
It looks like there may be new Waka Kayaks prototype out in the wild. Many thanks to Waka Watcher for the hot tip.

Jackson Kayak have two new whitewater kayaks being showcased next week at the Outdoor Retailer show, the Nirvana and the Antix. First up is the Nirvana, a race ready 9ft kayak that has much in common with the Zen.
This video from Wade Harrison shows what is said to be a newer version of the Dagger Phantom that we shared on Unsponsored some time ago.
The profile of the boat looks very similar so this looks like a tweaked design rather than a totally new one.
