Pyranha Ripper VS Dagger Rewind "Which One Should You Get" 

Thanks millsworks for watching and appreciate your compliments..

Wow what a list and thanks for the feedback Daniel!!

Thanks Dane appreciate you watching

Yes very good points on the stern pivot turns thanks for the feedback

I’m going to do some full slice boat reviews soon I have paddled all the newer ones I just did not do reviews then

Thanks buddy for watching

Great feedback richard and sadly I think the large rewind is a tank I paddled it briefly so maybe you could give one a demo and let me know what you think

I have large ripper, axiom 9.0 and large rewind. Much prefer the ripper for surfing and playing on grade 2/3 and if I was a better paddler I’d take it on harder stuff but I ain’t (yet). The large rewind is much more stable for me on G4, but less playful and not as fun to surf. Not a lot of reviews or comparisons of the large rewind, and those that have are connected to dagger. The axiom 9.0 is a strange beast - super high volume half slice and I think of it as my surfy creeker - similar dimensions and volume to a steaze with less rocker. I haven’t really decided between the 9.0 and large rewind which to keep, but will not get rid of the ripper simply for how fun it is on my surf runs.

Thanks for the feedback yeah I have paddled the small some also

How much you weight /height

Good feedback thanks for watching

Thanks for the compliments buddy yeah I love AlexsB he’s awesome 😎 And yeah I did do a Antix 2.0 vs rewind video if you haven’t seen it I linked to it in the video or can click below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPP4EX-zkq4.html

I’m thinking I will do a break down video at some point I just want more time in the R2 before doing taht

lol it sucks Pop! I'm on the river way more then messing with that I got to keep some stuff to do when retired 🤔..

I will try to put something together of axiom rewind at some point the axiom was a good boat for it’s time it’s just so dated now

Nice!

Paddle both 👍

Yeah liked your colors you went with Ron!!

Yes

Dude I’m totally down for review old school boats I just don’t know many people with old school boats they let me use

Yeah I was coming more from functionally they both work Pyranha does need more time to set up and they should seriously look at a complete overhaul I agree dagger is really good and more user friendly but both work

Yeah ripper who’ll help tune In down river type moves the rewind has a way more playful tail but little softer on the rails so not as aggressive for down river

@@WadeHarrison thanks for the reply!!

The medium will fit you and be very playful the large is very big and almost no play me personally I say go with the medium I think at your height and weight you will throw it around and have a way more fun experience In that boat

@@WadeHarrison sounds good, should i still be able to run class V? hoping to keep just 1 boat, or will the medium be a little too sporty?

@@jeremymcmullan1540 with the seat in the center I think you will get used to that stern it does require a different style

Nice thanks for the feedback

Would you recommend a large for a 5”11 roughly 180 pounds guy?

@@sazger no I’m 5’10”180 and both these boats are M and are perfect the L in both these models are just River runners

@@sazger I'm 5.6, 180 lbs. Ripping in the L version

How do you like the antix compared to the ripper? I’ve yet to paddle a 2.0 antix

Wow 4/10 is brutal on them I agree with you that the outfitting could use some refinement. And yeah good trade on the Antix 2.0 I really liked that boat also it’s a playboaters dream half slice

Hey Rome I paddled the Antix 2.0 and feel it’s suitable more for playing and hole moves and is good downriver but not as good as either of these all the current trends of half slice are really good in their own way you need to demo if you can to see what fits your style the best

😉

I second that. I just switched up from the medium to the large ripper at 5,10 155lbs. Just more comfortable.

Yeah they could for sure work on the durability of all the parts in the outfitting

I like the rip 2 over the 1 all day

@@WadeHarrison I think because of my slalom background the ripper 1 is much more suited for me I just can’t get along with the 2 as well

Yes I do as well I have actually seen some out in the river before they always look really good

When you look at EXO’s site, there is a dealer in WI (absolutely no help if you live anywhere else in the US.)

@@joemamma5350 that’s all the way cross country but if I get over to WI again I will look that up thanks for the info

No stay in the medium you will thank me. the LG was just too big to be fun. the medium rewind has a good amount of bow volume it will be fun and playful at your weight

@@WadeHarrison Thanks! Medium it is! I assume you knew I meant 200 lbs rather than the mistyped 20!

Oh if you don’t have a full Creeker go medium rewind all the way it will be your one boat do all

@@WadeHarrison thanks for the reply! As always, I love the video!

Dropped just for your time zone buddy 🤓

@@WadeHarrison yeah I had just come back from kayaking to some say coincidence I say it is fate

Or waiting?

@@Coachnickhawley1 yeah auto correct plus I ame a child so my spelling kinda sucks

Wow 7 months where you located and what dealer??

@@WadeHarrison Im in UK

Hope you're not still waiting mate! Been long enough that I've your axiom and replaced it with a rewind!

I did a review on the Antix 2.0 and a comparison video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ry-sKszKuOc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPP4EX-zkq4.html

Yes, that is also a great video. Applying those rating numbers to those different categories was very helpful in understanding the boat differences. I would love to hear your ratings in those categories of the Antix 2.0. Thanks Wade!

It usually based off the Cad with weight displacements added into the software

@@WadeHarrison oh cool! I knew you'd have the answer! thanks buddy.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPP4EX-zkq4.html i did a quick vs with the rewind

Zen 3.0 if it's your very first boat...

you should pay careful attention to the outfitting and how that feels. Dagger has outstanding outfitting. They have something new this year which replaces the Mamba or find a Mamba. Pyranha boats are good but just take more time to get them right. The Burn is a tried and true favorite and the Machno is another good choice. The Liquid Logic Remix is another good boat, easy to roll and has been around for years. They have great outfitting also.

That’s a long answer buddy but as a first boat I would suggest neither of these there’s some good choices out there and as one ☝🏻 said above the Z3 is really good first choice but my advice is go to your closest dealer and see what they have to say and if you want a second opinion feel free to hit me up

Great choice

Good feedback Bob

Yes I’m going to throw something together on the half slice boats o paddled

Yup, Axiom vs RPM would be great for me. I got an RPM as my first WW boat when I went to pool sessions. But wondering about something better, especially for surfing. More of a chance of finding an Axiom used than a Ripper or Rewind.

@@AndrewMoizer wow I spent a lot of time in both of those I don’t own any of them right now but maybe could throw a video together at some Point

@@WadeHarrison Thanks, but I'm sure you've got plenty of other videos that more people would enjoy. I'm guessing the edges on the Axiom would make a big difference, and it sounds like the Ripper would be better still based on your comments here (and the comments of others).

@@AndrewMoizer I've surfed both dagger boats, both are great. I preferred the planning(flat) hull of the axiom, but I haven't paddled much in displacement(rounded) hulls. That being said, the ripper isn't all that new and as production and distribution of new boats pick back up I think it will be around in a used market. I feel it is a surfing god amongst men for boats. Big waves, tight waves, waves that you don't even notice are there because it's just a damn ripple, this hull eats them all for breakfast! Pyrahna couldn't have given it a more suitable name.

I have paddled the Katana 10 and Jackson traverse I highly recommend the dagger katana 10 it’s the most well rounded it of the whole group

Oh you have a tsunami also I paddled that one also it’s a very good boat with a ton of storage is it the newest one the redesign is more stable and slower but very nice still

@@WadeHarrison Yep new design that doesnt have the day hatch 14 five L. I am guessing 2018 version

@@jeffccr3620 it is more suitable for moving current the older ones are more lake style and on that note the dagger kayaks Stratos is amazing on moving water

@@WadeHarrison I just hate to portage a 14 ft boat up hill and over rocks and figured something like the Katana would be much easier and force me to become more of a minimalist camper compared to the Tsunami

They should be at dealers now

Large Nirvana or a green boat. If you want play... maybe a super fun...

Green boat is actually very small at 6’8” 290 no way

Wow buddy what NFL team you been on that linebacker size.. and yeah as far as whitewater you pretty limited I can tell you one that’s massive and I have seen really big guys in it and that the Jackson Karma Large look it up and you can probably find a deal on some right now and the other is the Jackson kayak Large Nirvana and possibly the dagger kayaks Nomad Large those are a few boats that I know are extremely large let me know what you find and and maybe I can help you

@@WadeHarrison really, 12ft long but still small... Wow, that seems like an oversight. or is it done intentionally keep us bigger guys out of shuttle pools?

Thank you for the advice!!!

Love it!!
