So after receiving my new Pyranha Shiva I'm pleased to say it is standing up to my expectations!
I have however only paddled it on Trywern, Cymfal and Swallow falls, so it has not experienced any high or bigger volume drops.
My first impressions of the boat are the speed it carries threw waves and how the boat runs. I cant wait to do some races in this one!
It has a nice displacing hull and stronger rocker profile which makes boofing really easy, and landings softer. It also minimizes the risk of catching edges on slides.
This boat however does need to have the power being put down to hold lines and stop it sliding, its much like a slalom boat in that respect and its a good style of paddling to have.
Definitely get in one if you have a chance and see what you think!
