This kayak has vastly improved my kayaking and has given me more confidence on higher grade rivers.
The problems with this kayak are all superficial and none of them interfere with the joy that you experience when paddling it.

About Me
I have been kayaking for about two years, and am comfortable on grade four water.
I am 170cm tall and weigh 75kg with a 31" waist and size 10 & 1/2 feet.

Pros / The Good
Boofing Machine, this kayak loves to Boof.
Secondary Stability, this boat has tonnes of it and makes last minute high braces very easy.
Acceleration, this kayak gets up to speed quickly, perfect for smashing through holes.
Spins, the rocker on this boat means that it turns very easily.
Enjoys a surf, the combination of carving rails and planing hull means that this boat loves to surf
Comfortable, once you manage to get the outfitting right this kayak is very comfortable due to the fact that the outfitting is very adustable.
Comes back up the right way, i have been submerged in this boat so many times and have never come up upside down.
Looks good, i know this is objective but i think that this is a sexy boat.
Makes you look good, this kayak really makes you look like you know what you are doing.

Cons / The Bad
Adjusting the outfitting was a bit of a mission to say the least.
The sticky stuff that is on the foam parts of the outfitting loses its stick when it gets wet, not much use.
Pyranha seen to have decided that the best thing to line the cockpit with is razor blades, meaning that carrying this 20 kilo chunk around on your shoulders is a painful experience. I actually have bruises on my shoulders from carrying this kayak.
