Hi there, the Aerial has a foam spine whch give's the blade a tiny bit of pop. It isn't comparable to true foam core paddles but you do notice it for sure!

Hello, currently the RRP is £629.00 you can check them out on our web site by clicking the link below. Thank you www.whitewaterthecanoecentre.co.uk/palm-cascade-suit-19483-p.asp

Lace up!

Hi there, yes it would work well. It doesn't restrict movement and feels comfortable when worn for long periods! We rate it highly in the shop due to it's versatility when used for different disciplines.

@@WWTCC awesome thanks 😊

There are now 2 straps and buckles, so double the fun. However the hip pads are a softer foam and they stay in place better.

Unfortunately it will not be added to the previous designs but will be used in all new Pyrahna designs going forward. It also can not be back fitted to the older designs either.

It's really good, it stays flat and holds a line really well!

Hello, yes. Medium size in the video. I'm 6 foot, 82Kg. Fits really well.

Hey Matt, I like it. Feel's nice and safe but fun. Moves well, small would suit you perfect! good on the Lyn.

@@WWTCC nice! I'll have to give one a try!

Hello, The foam spine is quite small, it gives the blade a tiny bit of pop, but now where near as buoyant as say a Shogun or Odachi. It does make the blade super stiff though which is really like. The spine is also nice and flat, it makes the blade really controllable when slicing it through the water.

Hello, I can't find a published weight for the Kokatat suit! However. NRS have a published weight of 1.5Kg for their large Axiom suit, i've just put my large Kokatat Meridian on the scales in the shop and there saying 1.7Kg. In terms of sales, again it's pretty close but the Kokatat Meridian takes a narrow lead here. Warranties, here in the UK any warranty issues are sorted slightly differently between the two brands. NRS work with a repair partner ( Hammond Drysuits) who carry out any necessary work quickly and to a high standard. Kokatat warranties are carried out at there European importer based in Woking. All the servicing and warranty items we've had to get done have ben dealt with super quick, very impressive set up. It's hard to say one is better than the other. Both suits have "limited lifetime" warranties, the NRS suits haven't been around for to many years and any issues we've seen have been sorted without question. Kokatat Gore-Tex suits have been around for some time and we still see 10 year old suits coming through with issues that get repaired and go back out all carried out under warranty. Both companies customer services are very very good. The main difference between the two suits is the cut, if possible give them both a try and see what one feels and fits best.

Thanks for the helpful information. Dry suits are such a niche product. And from my the research, seemingly all dry suits serve their purpose well with only a narrow range of notable differences. Given, the decision as to which brand to buy comes down to the manufacturer’s commitment to customer service on a “lifetime” warranty. For me, the choice will come down to reading customer reviews, perusing Reddit and the like, to get a sense of after sales satisfaction.

@@kcoo4115 if we can help any-further please let me know.

I know they are brilliant, unfortunately we sold out a long time ago. Hope you find one!

Same here, brother. I had the redpoint 750 and 753. Lost the former years ago, lost the later recently. Then I found benchmade who came up with that sort of lock to begin with and fell for the osborne design. It took money to fill that void but I personally couldn't go back if I had the option.

Morning Diana, The model in the video, Joel, is 5foot 9inch tall and has an athletic build and weighs 66Kg. In the video he's wearing a medium. Thank you for the comment.

@@WWTCC So helpful, thank you!

What size fusion are you using? The Fusion L should be more than sufficient volume wise for you and is a bigger boat than the Ion. Other options of similar crossover kayaks are the Dagger Katana 10.4. If you are just using the boat on flat water then it would be worth looking at the Dagger Axis E, it runs well and has plenty of room inside for taller paddlers, however it is not suited to whitewater.

🤣 We still haven't crossed the finish line in the Antix yet. Check back in 2024

@@WWTCC sounds about right 😂😂

Hi Gemma, For it's length it's pretty loose. Your not going to be doing endless easy flat spins, but if you've got a good size wave you can spin and blunt. It does surf really well, very smooth. We are really big fan's of the Joker, it's a lot of fun.

@@WWTCC Thanks for that. There isn't that much footage round, but it does look like it has nice glide, a nice refinement on that brief generation of boats that came after the RPM, but before the Glide & the X (Razor/Blade, Infrared/Redline) but with all the modcons. Wait till the next container arrives down here and take one for a demo I guess. Cheers.

@@gemmawatson6100 absolutely, get out and give one a try. I think you'll enjoy it 🙂

The Rip-R Evo 2 is looking very nice! Hopefully it's not too long now before these get released to the world and over to you guys :-)

Cheers Matthew

Hi Jason, in the US I think you have a different outfitting specification than we have the in UK, Europe. Here we can only get the slideLock footrest fitted as standard.

@@WWTCC I'm glad to have the foot plate in Canada. My hull stiffener appears to also be nicer than what I see in video. I have the bottle holder.

Yes! Thats what we wanted to hear :-) So looking forward to paddling this one.

Hey Simon, the Juice was a pretty cool boat. There is a bit of a resemblance, but i'm going to say it going to paddle quite diffrently! Stay tuned and as soon as the ice melts and we get some water in the river we're be out giving it a good test.

Hello Colm, at 14 stone you should be fine. i'm 13.5 stone and find it a great boat to paddle. If you can, we have a demo at the shop. Come and give it a try.

Thanks for your reply. Did you have the seat out when you were paddling it ?

The 75 is available to order now, 65 hopefully before Christmas!

Send one over :-)))

The Allstar 10 will definitely be a lot faster than your Adventure 450. The Allstar 10 is a stable boat however if you are not used to paddling this style of boat you may find it a little wobbly at first, it is something you will get used to very quickly. We are huge fans of this boat and can't recommend it highly enough. We also have a Demo in the shop so if you would like to try it out you are more than welcome.
