News Watch

The Playak News Watch continously finds the world"s new paddling headlines. From the huge number of headlines it finds, Playak editors hand-pick and present the best ones (yes, that is very subjective, but they do their best to please our readers) every day, and those that then get the most reader views are sent out in the daily News Flash. Each Friday, we send out the Weekly Digest (instead of the daily News Flash), containing the top headlines of the past 7 days, as well as the most popular videos and forum topics, and a list of upcoming paddling events.

Medium Pyranha Scorch

Judy Ranelli (Aug 25 2023) - Hey y'all I want to say something briefly about the medium Pyranha Scorch: I love it and it loves me. It goes where I ask it to go, it holds a line, and since I moved the seat back one from forward it doesn't lock into lines. I have not been doing the stopping/back paddle correction strokes my instructors have all tried to get me to stop doing.  read more...
