Packed with punch for the real Freestyle enthusiast, the NEW Pyranha Rev incorporates the very latest in freestyle design thinking to combine dynamic class leading performance with unparalleled ease of use and control for any level of paddler.



The Rev can carve faster, pop higher and is smoother to transition from end to end than any other kayak we have designed. With lots of input for paddlers and plenty of prototyping the Rev is fast but controllable, light but stable and has all the performance you could hope for. It'll come in 4 sizes too so you can get the perfect fit!

Solid Playboat

About the reviewer

I paddle the Rev everyday of the summer as a safety boater and 2-3 times a week when I'm not guiding. Been paddling for 3 years. Runs some moderate rivers and go to a lot of play spots.

Test environment

Class III - III+ Whitewater, various waves and holes

Review

Bought the Rev M after using a Dagger Agent 6.2 all summer. I like it a lot more - faster and smoother on a wave, easier (for me at least) to cartwheel and bowstall in flatwater, outfitting is very comfortable, and overall feels a lot more solid and comfortable than my old Agent. I've tried various Wave Sport and Liquid Logic playboats as well, and for me the Rev works the best.

Pros: Very smooth and fast on a wave compared to most modern playboats, carves smoothly. Spins easily, has a lot of pop, and gets nice and bouncy on a big wave. In a hole it has a lot of pop. Love the outfitting - fits great and feels great, although my butt does fall asleep after a few hours of boating. Pyranha has really cool colors too.

Cons: Kinda sucks in flatwater. Seat is hard to adjust. More expensive than other brands.

Conclusion

Pretty good boat. I like it more than a Dagger Agent, feels right for me. Some people don't like them, I love mine. More expensive than most companies, try to find a good deal (I paid $700 for mine new). Try one out - may or may not be the boat for you.
