Boat Type: Kayak
Pyranha Loki (Large) River Play Full Slice Kayak I don’t really want to sell this fantastic boat! I’ve had loads of fun in it over the years and it’s the easiest boat to tailee and pirouette that I’ve ever been in, either on flatwater or on an eddy line! But it’s always been a squeeze for me at 6’2” and as my knees don’t work as they used to, getting into it (and more importantly out of it) now is not as easy as it used to be! So it's time that somebody else got good use out of it and enjoyed its' vertical sliciness! I’ve used this boat on flatwater, in the pool and at the Nene artificial white water course (grade 2).
So it’s been lightly used and has never been creased or welded. There are the usual scratches you’d expect on the hull and a few on the top-side as well but overall it’s in pretty good condition. I have tried to demonstrate the condition by the photos but please contact me if you have any specific questions. This is a great opportunity to get a rare and highly regarded kayak, which still holds its own against newer full-slices, in great condition! You’re welcome to the outfitting I have for it but as I’m quite tall I had to cut down most of the footblock to fit in – as you can see from the photo.
So if you’re shorter than me you may need to find a bigger footblock for it. (For reference I’m size 10 feet and I wore neoprene socks in it.) I am also offering this for sale elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction early. PLEASE NOTE: COLLECTION ONLY. I WILL NOT POST OR COURIER IT. The description and specification from Pyranha’s website are as follows: “The Loki is designed to revive the classic moves that we learned when we played the river the first time.If you want smooth linked cartwheels, a smile on every eddyline and enjoy serious vertical time then this is the boat for you.The Loki is loose and fast on the river and ocean waves.
Vertical moves are more controlled and impressive than in a short boat. The Loki is a great downriver play boat, its extra length means more speed, making eddies and must make ferry glides easier and more controlled.” Length: 222cm/ 7’3”Width: 63cm/ 24.75”External Cockpit Length: 86cm/ 34”External Cockpit Width: 48cm/ 18.7”Volume: 223L/ 59gal (US)Weight: 16kg/ 35lbsOptimum Paddler Weight: 80-110kg/ 176 – 243lbs
