Proper paddling position is key to getting the most out of this boat. If you get lazy and lean back when you are running a rapid. The boat reminds you very quickly. As soon as you get back over the boat it goes back to a super awesome boat. This is the way any boat should be. It reminds you to paddle properly and makes you a better boater in the process.

I am a Class V paddler. I spend about 100 days a year on the water. A great majority is spent on WV/ Western Md creeks. I have owned and enjoyed the Pyranha Everrest and Pyranha Burn Large (old design and New)
Pros / The Good
This is probably the best boat I have ever paddled. I work at a kayak shop and have access to Pyranha, Liquid Logic, Dagger, Wavesport, and Jackson boats. I have paddled all the creekers in our demo fleet.
It is fast ! It gets up to speed with a few paddle strokes and holds on to it.
It tracks really well and turns on a dime. All you need is a sweep stroke and you can change your line.
It Boofs awesome.
It is a very stable boat.
It is very predictable when you do mess up your line. A good brace and you are back where you need to be charging into the next rapid.
The outfitting was the easiest to adjust I have ever used. the shock absorbing bulkhead works very well.
Last but not least Prijon Plastic! This boat will last a long time and it comes with a 5 year warranty! No one does that. The usual for other brands is a year and if you crack it they sell you a warranty hull.
Cons / The Bad
The dense rubber on the thigh hooks could be softer. I added 1/8" minicell and now its super comfy.
