Pyranha Firecracker
Introduction
The Firecracker (new for 2023, S M and L available now) is a short half-slice river runner/play kayak. Inspired by the Ripper 2 but about a foot shorter and a couple inches wider to make surfing steep waves and stern squirts easier (especially in shallow water where the tail of long boats hit bottom), shredding quicker, and staying upright more likely.
Available in 3 sizes designated by their overall length is CM. 232, 242, and 252. Please check the specs tab to see which size fits you best.
Description
Here's what Pyranha says about the Firecracker:
Explosive, downriver freeride energy that everyone can enjoy! Set it off!
The Firecracker is a #HalfSizeHalfSlice to whip into every micro-eddy, snap onto every wave, and get vertical absolutely everywhere – no matter who you are, you’ll be able to throw this around, sky-gaze, and have the comfort and confidence to nail that new move.
- Compact and lightweight half-slice design
- Half the size means twice the potential for getting airborne!
- Spinnable, surfable, stable planing hull
- A bow that stays dry downriver, but you can still get down and party with
- Enjoy explosive moments of fun and relax without consequence between them
- Don’t just unlock the river, blow the doors off!
