The NEW Pyranha Firecracker Whitewater Kayak – Our initial thoughts
It was an interesting opportunity to join key Pyranha design, marketing and sales staff to discuss their latest release, the Firecracker!

Many manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties on their regulators but in order to maintain this, you need to make sure you get your regulators serviced regularly by an authorised technician.
