Boat: S6
Manufacturer: Pyranha
Website: http://www.pyranha.com/
Reviewer: Ronan

Review:

The S6 is lovely wee example of a true hole boat. It’s not great on waves in all honesty, but it was a breakthrough in looping design and helping those who need it to get bigger air than they could get before.
It’s very stable in a hole and is not too blocky and rectangular to make it unstable in larger holes. It has a nice progression from the rails to the bow and stern of the boat without it being a really smooth boat i.e. not all curvy and surf like. It has good rocker allowing it to release really well in the hole when doing loops and blunts.
It doesn’t fall around like most kayaks in a hole as it has been predominantly made for the job rather unlike a midway wave / hole boat, which is as I have said above has more of a surf boat smoothness of angled features. This is a good boat fore those wanting to learn to play hard. The plastic has been improved and helps to reduce weight to strength ratio.
S6 [190]
Definitely a boat for those who are smaller and lighter say 11 stone.
S6 [200]
For those above at least 13 stone to get the full potential of its size or else you will end up sloshing around in it.
