GNARVANA WALKTHROUGH 

Love it, I'm sold! Can't wait to go creeking!

I want to see your normal videos of running rivers, and then hear how the boat works. What it does good, how to paddle it to get the most out of it. Why my wife should let me get one instead of sticking with my old burn, that type of thing. LOL I love Jackson boats, because i feel like they listen to kayakers, and build boats for us.

Waw👏👏👏i really like it.

Seeing that the small is 80 gallons I'm really interested in demoing one. At 134/140lbs and 5'5" I always feel like I'm at the bottom range of medium boats and smalls always feel too small. Also glad to see the molded in wall holder, always liked that on other boats, just makes sense strength wise.

I've paddled the Gnarvana through some decent whitewater a few times now. I'm definitely more of an intermediate class III+/IV boater. The Gnarvana definitely feels different than the Nirvana. The main differences IMO, the Gnarvana doesn't track straight as well as the Nirvana, the Gnarvana isn't as quick to pick up speed off initial paddle strokes as the Nirvana, and I feel a little lower in the boat than the Nirvana. The Gnarvana punches through holes better because of the increased rocker, the Gnarvana's bow is drier, the Gnarvana will take care of you a little better than the Nirvana, the stern of the Gnarvana is definitely propelled forward more than the Nirvana off drops, and the Gnarvana skips better off drops (a potential negative or positive, depending on your paddle style based off the last two points, is the bow will come completely out of the water skipping out of drops and holes which causes the boat to almost ride a wheelie/tailie away from drops/holes without trying). I'm still undecided about which boat is more maneuverable. I think the Gnarvana is, but I find that boat a little spiny right now as I continue to grow more accustomed to it. So, I think after I get more dialed into the nuances of the Gnarvana, I will more than likely say the Gnarvana is more maneuverable than the Nirvana. However, I never found the Nirvana unmaneuverable, but rather nimble despite length and desire to track straight. I wish I could surf better and play with the edges more to give an informed opinion on that, but I'm more of a river runner/creeker. Hopefully, the Antix 2.0 will push me to be a better down river play boater. Overall, I love both the Gnarvana and the Nirvana. I think more time in the Gnarvana will eventually have me completely favoring that boat, but both boats are great. If I could give a tagline for the Gnarvana or highlight what I believe to be its strongest feature so far in my experience, I believe this is the best phrase, "the Gnarvana punches through holes like Mike Tyson or Chuck Liddell punched through their opponents in their prime, instant KNOCKOUTS."

There's a special place in hell for the person who decided vertical grab handles were a good idea.

In your videos I would love to hear which boat you are using and why.

Dane you should come to maine.

Nice Video

Nice

Sick boat! Great edit. My favorites: 6:53 - giggling segment 😝 7:37 - wave launching 🌊 8:45 - size small (scaled up) 🙌🏼 I’m usually between a S and M, and I just bought a M Gnarvana. (Also got on the list for Small, which I hear may be coming within a few weeks?! 🤞🏼) I’ve had it out twice and I love it, but it feels like a true M, or maybe even a little M/L, so I’m stoked to hear the small is scaled up a bit. At 6’ 135# I have the added issue of fitting in boats that are correct for my weight. My only concern looking at the S Gnarvana spec is that the legs/knees might feel too low for me since the knees in this boat aren’t high to begin with, and the spec on height is 13.5, which is 0.75” lower than the M. 13.5 is also the same as the S Code, which felt too low for me. Won’t know until I get in one.

Damn i just picked up a liwuid logic alpha 90- trade yuh straight across for that boat!

What's the difference between this and the Waka OG or Dagger Code?

Aaaand I'm always getting hosed being 6'5" and 230. Not much fits. Looks like a sweet boat.

That's it, I'm putting my Nirvana up for sale and putting an order in for a Gnarvana. This thing looks insane!

Is this your PFD of the Stikine? I've never heard you talk about running it before and I don't think I've seen footage of you running it before.

Dane- what’s this thing like vs. the Karma?

Any updates on timeline/sizing of the large?

Hmmmm what will become of Dane now that he has a kayak with kick rocker.

What size do you use for this boat Dane ?

where do you recommend setting the seat?

First! :)

I am 1.83 and weigh 190 pounds, would a medium size be good for me???

but can you loop it???

What do you weigh? Cheers.

How does it roll?

What is your height and weight

Lol i can't even understand you and I speak the same language
