Pyranha Firecracker
Introduction
The Firecracker (new for 2023, S M and L available now) is a short half-slice river runner/play kayak. Inspired by the Ripper 2 but about a foot shorter and a couple inches wider to make surfing steep waves and stern squirts easier (especially in shallow water where the tail of long boats hit bottom), shredding quicker, and staying upright more likely.
Available in 3 sizes designated by their overall length is CM. 232, 242, and 252. Please check the specs tab to see which size fits you best.

Explosive, downriver freeride energy that everyone can enjoy! Set it off!
