Pyranha Ripper 2 Medium Whitewater Kayak - Clearance

WhitewaterRivers & Moving WaterWhitewater
More rocker, more skip, a drier ride
01 — HULL & ROCKER

More rocker, more skip, a drier ride

The Ripper 2 sharpens the original half-slice formula with extra bow rocker and added width, so it stays drier through holes and skips farther out of features. It's a planing hull built to carry speed and boof with confidence.

  • Increased bow rocker for a drier ride and drier surfs
  • Added hull width to skip out of features and stay loose
  • 8' 11" length and 62 gal volume for a true river-runner footprint
Drop the tail and get vertical with ease
02 — SLICE & PLAY

Drop the tail and get vertical with ease

Softer sidewalls and a slicier tail make stern squirts, dip turns and vertical moves easier in more places on the river. It's half slice, half river runner, so you can run the line then play the wave without switching boats.

  • Softer sidewalls and a slicier tail for effortless tail-dropping
  • Get recklessly vertical in more locations on the river
  • One boat for running rivers and surfing waves
Elite outfitting locks you into the boat
03 — OUTFITTING & COMFORT

Elite outfitting locks you into the boat

Pyranha's Elite outfitting system connects you to the hull for precise edge control and all-day comfort. Dialed-in contact points let you drive the boat exactly where you want it.

  • Pyranha Elite outfitting system for direct hull control
  • Tuned to a 145–210 lb optimum paddler weight for the Medium
  • Secure, supportive fit for confident edging and bracing
Ovalised rim for a drier spraydeck seal
04 — COCKPIT & FIT

Ovalised rim for a drier spraydeck seal

The reshaped, ovalised cockpit rim helps produce a drier spraydeck fit so you stay drier on big water and hard surfs. Fresh Scorch-inspired styling finishes off the package.

  • Ovalised cockpit rim for a drier spraydeck fit
  • 35" x 20" cockpit opening for easy entry and exit
  • Fresh, Scorch-inspired styling

Got 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!

So 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!

I 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.

The 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.

Bought 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.

You 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.

Others have tried, but only Pyranha could improve on the original Ripper. The Pyranha Ripper 2 takes the fun to the next level — go faster, surf more waves, drop the tail with less effort in more locations, and get even more recklessly vertical. Whether you were a fan of the original or not, you haven't truly experienced half-slice until you've tried this.
