Product detailed description

Pyranha Ripper 2 Elite - Key Features

The Ripper 2 Elite builds on the legendary Ripper 1 and brings significant improvements in hull shape, stability and comfort. Its design provides aggressive response, fast edge-to-edge transition and a fun ride on any water:

• Raised bow-rocker - allows for easier wave rides, dry landings and sure boofs.
• Wider torso at the knees - provides greater stability during changes in direction and fast response to current.
• The back of the spit (tail) - allows you to perform tail-spins, pirouettes and playful manoeuvres without losing control.
• Elite outfitting - premium system with saddle, thigh-grips and back-band for perfect connection to the boat.
• Ergonomic cockpit - comfortable seating, easy to carry and quality workmanship made in UK.

Hull, stability and handling

The hull of the Ripper 2 has been redesigned for increased stability and better control during fast riding and playful elements. The increased bow-rocker makes it easy to ride waves and stay afloat even in larger drops. A wider midsection adds stability, while a thin slice tail allows for dynamic maneuvers and easy stern clearance for spins or surf. The kayak responds instantly to edge changes and gives the rider a feeling of lightness despite fast flow.
