Pyranha ReactR Small Whitewater Kayak - Clearance
A new era of whitewater control
The ReactR's Pivot Hull gives you a perfectly positioned pivot point with two planing surfaces, one in front and one behind, so you can switch between them at will. Direction changes happen flat, without tripping over the tail.
- Pivot Hull enables low-angle pivot turns at any speed
- Two planing surfaces for stability on the bow and the tail
- Innovative rocker profile reduces sidewall pressure for easy maneuvering
Creek-boat confidence, slice-boat energy
The ReactR carries speed through rapids and stays on top of the water heading downstream, blending playful agility with the reassurance of a full creek boat. It won the 2025 Paddling Magazine Industry Award for best whitewater boat.
- Bow profile gives smoother water entry and predictable lines
- Cross-currents pass under the hull instead of knocking you off line
- Stable landing the bow on a drop and planing out on the tail
Dialed-in fit, lighter and more connected
The ReactR is the first Pyranha to feature the all-new Elite Outfitting, which cuts boat weight while improving comfort, connection, and ease of adjustment without sacrificing durability or safety.
- Elite Outfitting reduces weight and boosts connection to the boat
- Hooker-style thigh braces adjust forward, back, and side to side
- Tool-free adjustment dialed in for the small-size paddler
The Small, built for lighter paddlers
At 8'10" with a 306L volume, the Small ReactR is tuned for paddlers in the 120 to 165 lb range who want a responsive creek boat that fits properly and reacts instantly.
- Optimum paddler weight range 120-165 lb / 55-75 kg
- 306L / 81 US gal volume for a balanced, agile feel
- River running and creeking for paddlers of all abilities

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.

More dynamic and maneuverable than a traditional creek boat, the ReactR's Pivot Hull enables low-angle pivot turns while carrying speed confidently through rapids. Combined with its stability and ease of maneuverability, the ReactR is a high-performance whitewater machine.
The ReactR is also the first Pyranha kayak to feature the all-new Elite Outfitting, which significantly reduces boat weight, improves comfort and connection, and makes adjustments easier — without compromising safety or durability.
