Pyranha Firecracker Elite - Key Features
The Firecracker 252 takes the concept of half-slice to bigger dimensions. It offers plenty of room and lift for heavier riders without sacrificing agility and playfulness. Ideal for those who want to combine comfort, power and explosive reactions when riding down the river. It builds on the success of the Ripper and Ozone, while adding maximum stability with the widest hull in the Firecracker line.
Hull, stability and handling
The hull of the Firecracker 252 is based on the playful Ozone, but is widened and adapted for more volume. The result is a strong lift at the front and a scalloped stern for easy transitions to vertical. The high width provides exceptional stability and confidence through current, wave and freestyle elements. The ideal tool for riders who don't want to compromise.
Comfort and safety
The Elite version ensures that even larger riders can stay comfortable all day long while still having precise control over the kayak:
- Elite seat - adjustable for longer legs, well shaped for longer paddling
- Padded thigh and side bolsters - responsive to the rider's movements
- Robust full-plate footrest - adapted for higher loads
- Ratchet back support system - easy adjustment even while driving
What is it suitable for?
Pyranha Firecracker 252 is ideal for:
✅Freeride on WW3-WW4 - explosive performance even for heavier riders
✅Learning freestyle manoeuvres - due to greater stability and buoyancy
✅All-day training - comfortable and forgiving even under higher loads
