With the immanent release of the new 2010 Burn, Pyranha have cut the price of the Old boat. In stock we have two medium Burns left, 1 Blue/white, 1 Lime/yellow, (full Connect 30 outfitting) these boats now have a special price of £670.00! When they have gone they have gone for good. If you want a proper winter deal get in quick.
No further discounts apply on these two boats….
We also have a Prototype M Burn here at the shop, if you would like to come in and give it a paddle on the lake please do, we are taking pre orders for the new 2010 Burn NOW. The M Burn will be available in two / three week’s time. The Large version a week or so after that, and the small a week or so after again.
So the rain gods were kind to us last week, depending how you look at it! And the river levels stayed low.
HPP was once again the location for the selection event but in a different feature this time. The Tardis was in good condition and showcased some huge air by many of the paddlers. As soon as the results are published we will put them up, but in a nut shell Pringel won and Jon came a good close second! At the AGM on Saturday night they discussed what will happen with the results if Hurley isn't high enough to use as the 3rd event. But the rain is starting to fall hard……. We will have to wait and see with that one? Well done to all the paddlers at the weekend.
The Jnr. men doing there thing.
Judging can be a thankless task sometimes. Well done all.
Just a little e-mail sent around today from Liquid logic, interesting?
We are constantly looking at ways to make our kayaks better and safer. We were the first to install metal grab bars on the decks of our kayaks (now an industry standard) that make attaching a carabineer quick and easy. We use the largest molded inserts in the industry (this is what grab handles are bolted to) to increase the pull strength during a rescue situation. Now, we are the first kayak manufacture to introduce “Rotanium XL” (that is what we are calling it in-house and for a really great reason – it hasn’t broken yet!) the best and toughest plastic money can buy. Rotanium XL is high density polyethylene on steroids. We tested “Rotanium XL” for 6 months, using a hand picked group of creekers known for their abusive paddling, before introducing it this past January. Yes you read that correctly, “Rotanium XL” was introduced in January 2009 in all Liquidlogic kayaks so it is in what you currently have in stock. We have been keeping stats on “Rotanium XL” for the last 16 months, starting with our R&D test group, and have had only had three warranty claims with this resin. One was a Jefe Grande that ran Green River’s infamous Gorilla unmanned, backwards, upside down and full of water - it only bent, no breaks. The other two were Biscuits that had bent slightly from doing loops in a shallow hole, which did not truly constitute a warranty but we wanted to check them out. We thought it best to do a soft introduction with you, our dealers, to keep from dating any existing boats that you may have had in stock and to further evaluate Rotanium XL before spewing it to the market.
Just a quick one to let you know that we now stock run and jump clothing, T-shirts, hats available now. Some very warm looking jackets coming soon! Come in, try it on, and buy some.
And the new look shop sticker is now available in two sizes, small or big in black or white. Very smart.
I hope I don’t revive a mountain of e-mails now say “No you can’t” But I am pretty sure, almost 100% that WWTCC.COM now works fine on I-Phones look us up and have a look! Pretty cool think you can buy things via it too.
Well nearly a year since we first started to play with the new Pyranha play boat it finally nearly there, and at long last I got to give it a blast down at Chertsey! Not the “world class” feature you might have hoped to push the boat on, but it is the place we paddle most of the year, and the place I’ve paddled, nearly every play boat to come to the market over the last 7 years. Chertsey’s not a great test of hull speed or looseness, but it is a great test for seeing how stable and controllable the boat is on its end! And good to see how it performs on moves like loop’s, loner orbits, tricky Woo’s. And all that sort of stuff the youth of today like to do in a boat in a sticky hole!! Things are looking very promising, and the small changes planned for the next version should hopefully see the boat nearly done. Then hopefully not to long before production can begin. Pictures are all pretty poor! What can I say, it dark when we leave work now.
I don't know if anyone has seen these before, but at the moment this guy is making our day fly along! very funny, think Bear Grylls mixed with some Chuckle Brothers. find more here
Was a busy weekend just gone, Graham finally finished in a very respectable 43 at the Sick-Line race and was top UK paddler! Good effort my friend. The rest of us spent our time at HPP taking part in the first GB selection (freestyle) event of the year, I think I finished a fairly lowly 22nd but had a wonderful time paddling the new Pyranha PDQ prototype. Jon paddled much better and came 7th, Mr. Pringle blew every one else away with a winning score of 1050, very impressive to watch. Miss Jennifer Chrimes took the ladies title with 3 excellent solid rides (beating most of the senior men!). All in all a top few days sport, next stop, back to slalom (Llandysi).
