Pyranha Helectron Medium Whitewater Kayak
- 5.0 ft length
- Built for Whitewater
Pyranha Helectron Medium Whitewater Kayak
A super-loose hull with rails that bite when you want them
The Helectron pairs an exceptionally loose, spinny hull with highly defined rails, so you can slide freely on a wave then carve and hold an edge on demand. The squared front edge gives unparalleled control on the bow.
- Super-loose hull for fast, effortless flatwater and wave spins
- Highly defined rails for edge control and carving when you need it
- Squared front edge delivers precise bow control
Reactive ends built for the modern trick list
Extra volume packed into the tip of the stern makes the boat pop and stay reactive through aerial moves. The result is a playboat that helps you spend less time reacting and more time acting.
- Added stern-tip volume for more reactive ends
- Tuned for moves like the Lunar Orbit and Tricky Woo
- 223L of volume sized for 130–200 lb paddlers
Lightweight Elite outfitting that locks you in
The Helectron ships with Pyranha's latest Elite outfitting, a refined, lightweight cockpit setup that keeps you connected to the boat for explosive moves while holding overall weight down to a manageable 35 lbs.
- Pyranha's latest Elite outfitting system
- Lightweight build keeps the boat at just 16 kg / 35 lbs
- Snug, connected fit for powerful, precise control
GuiGui-Prod design, Pyranha polyethylene
Born from a partnership with World-Championship-winning designer GuiGui-Prod, the Helectron took five prototypes and around eighteen months of testing on waves and in holes across Europe. It is now exclusively available in durable polyethylene through Pyranha.
- Designed by championship freestyle outfit GuiGui-Prod
- Refined over 5 prototypes and ~18 months of testing
- Exclusively available in tough polyethylene from Pyranha

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
