The Pyranha H:3 stability inspires an aggressive tilt
On the water, the Pyranha H:3 flies downstream with a wonderful feeling of glide. Paddlers more used to pushing around slow playboats will find themselves unintentionally surfing small features when ferrying across the river—needing to open up their ferry angle to take advantage of the H:3’s speed.
Great secondary stability inspires the confidence to aggressively tilt and carve the H:3 in and out of eddies. It holds an edge well with enough stability to allow you to make long, cruising carves into deep, fat eddies. It doesn’t spin-turn flat as easily as a highly rockered, dedicated creek boat, or pivot-turn like a playboat, but it eats those boats alive on long ferries and river-wide moves.
Pyranha’s H:3 is a rock-steady river running kayak. The long-running length and consistent rocker profile mean there is no sudden break to deflect you off course. The stern carries enough volume and raised edges to keep it high and less susceptible to boils. It’s a “pick a line and nail it” type boat—and one of the best at punching holes.
Want to take the Pyranha H:3 playing? The planing hull allows you to lay down a mean carve on a long wave and you can still mush it around flat if things are too steep. Realistically though, the H:3 plays about as much as you would on a river running trip.
This is a river running kayak with creek boat tendencies and a desire to travel. Technically minded paddlers will love it. So will those running big water with must-make moves and creekers paddling everything but the tightest and near vertical. But what really fired the imaginations of the test crew was the H:3’s speed, all-day comfort, and volume. It’ll become a classic overnighter.
