Check out this pink Pyranah Fusion kayak.  I think the fusion, which is a bit of an old school boat brought up to date, is one of the few more distinctly “new” boats to come around in some time.   I need a respectable, non-playboat-river runner and the fusion might be the perfect beast. Luckily for most they come in other others.  As for me,  I’ve been pining for a pink “Hello Kitty” Special.  Notice the little black deck thingy.  That’s the $60 optional pod.  Looks a little like a black plastic counter cookie jar. :) Continue reading

How can it be “old school” when old school is so old school that  I don’t remember old school.  I mean I’ve only seen a Dancer nailed to a wall.  But I’m told the new Fusion from Pyranha is basically an old school boat with some modern embelishments.  What it is is a river kayak  handle up to class 3 white water and still carry some kit.  Now, I have to say, I do like this boat.  I mean, not THIS boat exactly. I’ve yet to paddle the new Fusion (and yellow’s not my bag either). In fact  the one at Canoecopia was the first to land over here, but I love the concept.  I can image there are plenty of us out there that would enjoy a tough little river boat that’s a bit more predictable than a playboat.  Now we just have to get a few together for a test paddle.
