Pyranha Storm MD Freeride Whitewater Kayak 2026
The Pyranha Storm MD Freeride Whitewater Kayak's wider hull, evolved rail design, and revised rocker profile create what could be the loosest half-slice design ever created. Incorporating DNA from the ReactR, the Storm allows you to lock in directional control by engaging the rails on a wave, in a hole, or while paddling downstream. And it spins like a tornado to your delight when flat.
The Storm's volume distribution is designed to keep the bow dry when paddling, but allow lightning-fast engagement and response with impressive pop for bigger air when throwing downriver moves.
A refined bow shape, and a strong recurved rocker profile at the tail boost the speed of the Storm. The overall waterline has been developed to maintain that speed, and lower the planing barrier, meaning surfing has less resistance on waves of all sizes and depths.
Features
- A contoured hull, which allows for better, faster transitions between those rails
- A large planing surface, with width maintained throughout the kayak’s length, and great release edges loosen up the hull and make the Storm come alive on a wave
- Recurved stern, which lifts when planing to give a longer effective waterline than the kayak’s apparent length, especially satisfying when paddling downstream or surfing
- Its reduced bow volume can be engaged when playing, opening up loops and macho moves, but with plenty of lift from the bow rocker and efficiency in shedding water, it doesn’t load up when you don’t want it to.
