I had a chance to take Pyranha's new playboat for a spin at the NOC wave today and wanted to give some my first impressions of the boat. In the past the Pyranha playboats have been a little on the aggressive side so I was excited to try this new boat that promised to be more user friendly.
After playing around for a few minutes doing spins, blunts and front surfing, the boat lived up to that promise. It is very user friendly and was comfortable in the water whether it was pointed upstream, downstream or sideways in the hole. Spins on the corner were very smooth and easy. What would have been a tentative move for me now happened with ease.
If you're into cartwheels, it is smooth on both ends and feels very well balanced. Other vertical moves were easily controlled. Chan and Casey Jones took the boat to Eternity Hole and have some great shots of stout air in the boat on their Facebook pages.
