TOPIC: What was your first WW kayak?
What was your first WW kayak? 10 years 9 months ago #33009

My first river trip was in an Dagger Animas
My first year in a kayak was in a Dagger RPM My first owned boat was a Pyranaha Attack I've owned a LOT of boats since and paddled MANY more. Huge shout out to the Towson University kayak club for getting me started on this life long love affair with kayaking. |

My first river trip was in a rental thing in Belgium. When I saw a group of WW kayakers hopping into all sorts of small eddies, I knew I wanted that level of control as well. Next was a commercial rafting trip in Switzerland, and again I was impressed by what the guys in kayaks could do. Soon after that, I became a member of the local kayak club.
Boats I actually bought and used more than a bit: Prijon Taifun Rainbox Reaction Dagger RPM Riot Hammer Wavesport X And then I got to paddle many other boats of course, since I run Playak. Out of those, I still own and use: Riot Inferno - versatile for waves, holes, and ww running. Often underrated imho. Pyranha Ammo - forgiving for heavier ww, and also great for beginners on easy ww. Zelezny Igo - nice toy for pool sessions and small ww. |

First boat was a Perception Pirouette S - in the early years. I remember taking one out for a test paddle on the Potomac and telling the buyer I thought I could grow my skills into such a small, little boat.
Most influential boat I owned for the longest period of time was a first generation Wavesport X in crosslink. I might have learned to paddle in the Pirouette S - but I became a kayaker in that X. Lots of personal First D's in that. WS Frankenstein and LL Gus were also parts of the quiver. It's a very different quiver these days.... |
