Levi Rhodes started the topic Pyranha Ozone in the forum Gear Reviews 1 month, 2 weeks ago
TLDR : GREAT boat for the Saint Francis and general play runs. May be hard to paddle at first with sharp edge and low rocker. Stern squirts/play moves are a blast and it is VERY COMFORTABLE even for bigger guys.
I am going to write this review about the MEDIUM Ozone and adjust comments to give an idea of the L and S as well.
If I only had on…[Read more]

Chris, you are not wrong. I am now using the Werner Surge and it pulls hard! It’s my favorite paddle yet.

Yes, unfortunately they never made it to the market… haha… So basically my review is a tease, sorry. I’ve been using a Werner Powerhouse again… Not as durable as the Eminent, but it lasted me longer than I expected. Yesterday I recieved my new Werner Surge. I’ll use it for a bit and post a review on it as well.. The colors are poppin’, it…[Read more]

I went to Highschool with Blake and sent him here – someone give him a hand if you can since he just missed the clinic. Cheers!

Levi Rhodes replied to the topic NewMad Medium in the forum Gear Reviews 1 year, 9 months ago
I’ll let Chris explain, but in case he doesn’t – Tombstone = back ender… if you go slow enough through a hole or slower moving current, the faster current from behind will grab your stern and push it under water sending your bow into the air. basically like doing half of a backflip. Chris moved his seat forward shortly after posting this a…[Read more]

Levi Rhodes replied to the topic drysuit advice in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 11 months ago
Hey, man. I’m not usually one to hate on a brand, but the price is low for a good reason. From my experience Stohlquists drysuit delaminate quickly and will only keep you comfortable for a couple of seasons. Others may have a different experience, but I’d recommend checking out immersion research or kokotat. IR is more reasonably priced, and I…[Read more]

Interesting. I wonder if this will make the dam more runnable than before.. Could be a silver lining in there somewhere for paddlers.

Levi Rhodes started the topic Eminent Paddles Creek Fiberglass in the forum Gear Reviews 2 years, 3 months ago
There is a new brand of paddles which has recently broken into the market with a new approach to how they believe a paddle should be made. Rather than focused on having featherweight paddles like the rest of the market, Eminent paddles has decided to focus on durability. With a thick, heavy duty lay-up, their fiberglass paddles are as rigid as…[Read more]

Levi Rhodes started the topic Pyranha Ripper in the forum Gear Reviews 2 years, 3 months ago
I have had the pleasure of paddling both the Small and the Medium Pyranha Ripper for a while and it has become my favorite river running kayak. Period. It is fast, it carves and surfs wonderfully, and has a slicey stern.
All sizes of the Ripper measure in at 9 ft long (maximum length for most short boat race categories) and differ only in w…[Read more]

Levi Rhodes replied to the topic Team Pyranha is here on the island… in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
Ive paddled the medium, which I liked, and now the small which I love. He makes the large look like it was meant to glide. You’ll like it. Scoot the seat forward and pad out the hips. Adjust the thighs until you feel like you won’t fall out. Enjoy.

Levi Rhodes started the topic Pyranha Machno in the forum Gear Reviews 3 years, 5 months ago
Hello friends! I’ve been paddling Pyranha’s most recent creeker, the Machno, since May and have been very happy with it. Here’s why:
The boat stays on top. The boat is fast. The boat can carve, yet is very forgiving.
The bow rocker is unstoppable. More and more companies have been learning that more rocker in the front rather than back ke…[Read more]

Levi Rhodes replied to the topic Opal Creek Edit in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 7 months ago
Nice video work Chris! Thanks for the great run.
The bungee jumpers that were screaming at heights as low as 20 feet above our head gave us the feeling that we were in a recreation hot spot at the beginning of our run. This run is absolutely beautiful and like many others in that area, is perfect for those who like low volume, narrow runs with…[Read more]

Levi Rhodes started the topic GoPro Hero 4 session in the forum Gear Reviews 3 years, 7 months ago
GoPro has been focusing on making their cameras easier to use, and for once, more affordable. Of all of the GP cameras I have had in the past, the Session has become my favorite and is half the price of other GoPro cameras. It does everything I need it to, since I have been using more basic settings recently. If you are interested in hav…[Read more]

Thanks for video chris.
For anyone who may paddle this over the next few seasons, if the logs are still there, stay right at the 2 islands. Scout anything you can’t see. Remember to breath between giggles.

Hi John,
You’re welcome to use our Pyranha Recoil (S) w. I also have a small/medium PFD, and a skirt which will probably fit. I’ll have you know that the boat is for sale and if somebody wants to buy it before the clinic, it may not be available. I have paddle pants with a torn ankle gasket that may be a bit too large, but by all means, borrow…[Read more] - Load More
