River Running

The Pyranha Machno Connect is a high-volume creek kayak built for stability, precision, and confidence in steep, technical whitewater. Featuring a balanced rocker, wide planing hull, and Stout 2 outfitting, it’s designed for powerful boofs, smooth landings, and full control in big water. Tested on real rivers like Afon Machno and refined by Team Pyranha worldwide.

The Pyranha ReactR Elite features Pyranha's most innovative design yet, opening new doors within the world of creek and river running for kayakers of all abilities. The ReactR features an entirely new style of hull, with a perfectly positioned pivot point and two planing surfaces, one in front and another behind, which can be switched between with ease. This means the boat is stable both when landing a drop on the bow and when planing out of features on the tail. This isn't just a kayak – it's a statement about Pyranha's commitment to leading the charge and progressing the sport through design innovation.

The Spade Kayaks The Royal Flush, is a highly versatile river running kayak that’s suitable for paddlers in the 70 - 120kg weight range. Whilst the Royal Flush is a single sized whitewater kayak, smaller paddlers should have a look at the Spade Kayaks, The Black Jack. The Royal Flush is a great river running kayak, whether you’re an experienced paddler or getting out for your first winter season. There is a nice amount of rocker which will make for softer landings. The rails are also nice and soft, for plenty of forgiveness. The large easy access cockpit has a comfortable seat, which incorporates hip pads and a seat pad. There is also a backrest and thigh grips for additional support. The front of the kayak features a bulkhead footrest, which gives great protection against any impact.

The Pyranha Burn III Connect is available in two sizes (M and L) and is a classic river running kayak known for its outstanding performance.

The kayak includes a bulkhead footrest, step-out pillar with a hull stiffener, rear minicell foam pillar and multiple securing bars/clip points for enhanced safety. With a moderate amount of hull rocker and rails for responsive turns, it's designed for manoeuvrability and quick resurfacing after drops.

The Pyranha Scorch X Stout 2 is a single sized river running kayak that is suitable for paddlers between 70 to 115kg. Whilst this is described as a river running kayak, it takes some of its heritage from the ever-popular Pyranha Scorch Series. However, the Scorch X is a longer boat than many. So, while it is great for river running it really is great on big bouncy water where you want to skip down the river and not really stop and play, this boat is designed to be fast! The Scorch X also incorporates the Stout 2 kayak outfitting which offers great levels of comfort and safety whilst also delivering the highest levels of performance. The cockpit is easy to get in and out, the padded seat offers comfort. Whilst the adjustable backrest and bulkhead footrest offer lots of support for a good posture in the kayak.

Dagger’s new Code Action+ kayak has the flare of the Rewind and speed of the Phantom.

The Pyranha Scorch Stout 2 is a great river running kayak that offers great levels of comfort and performance. This whitewater kayak comes in three sizes for a near perfect fit. There is Scorch Small, Scorch Medium and also a Scorch Large. (There is a 4th size, the Scorch X. Primarily a longer version of the Scorch Medium for more speed.) The Scorch comes fully fitted with the Pyranha Stout 2 Outfitting, this offers some of the best levels of comfort, performance and Safety. Pyranha have designed the scorch to be slightly longer than boats such as the Machno. It also has a harder set of rails that also help to achieve a flatter planing hull. However will make it slightly less forgiving, but it will make it slightly more fun when on a river wave.
