Thanks for picking me I have sent you my address 👍👍👍👍

Thanks mate, goodluck with your future outfitting!

Thanks mate, I have the seat in the middle in the Scorch and find that works best for me at 75kg.

Accousticfixation…. I have a new large JED. I am 6 ft, 180, size 10 shoes. Have moved the seat back. Do you have any other tricks which might help the tall paddler fit?

@@hughloraine9660 are you using a foam foot block or happy feet?

Thanks mate! Have a Google there is a good blog about it on the pyranha site from many years ago

I use a peice of the foam roll that comes with the kayak and double it over and then glue it to the back of my seat. Doesn't take much but I think it really helps!

Just get yourself a pair of Dagger backbands. They have a metal eye and just dont break. You can cut free the double-D rings off the pyranha bands and use them to connect the two dagger bands in the back of your backrest. Works a charm since 3 years for me and i did break the originals at least twice a year before that. Also: try lowering your backrest (you can pull it down with a small strap at the bottom center of the backrest) - that reduces the amount of pressure you put on it while boofing without reducing the snugness of the fit onto your pelvis. It actually improves the sideways agility of your torso as well. As to the compatibility of the ratchets: I'm quite sure its the same supplier, so the parts are interchangeable.

I would try gluing thin shims to your pillar to make it taller and more snug before gluing the pillar down, I glued a few down back in the day when we were melting and squishing boats to make them slicier and change the rocker proflie but it is a huge pain in the ass as you must sand the kayak where you are gluing it or the glue will last about a month before failing and getting the pillar in place with contact glue without touching the other surface is a challenge in itself.

Contacts your feet

I wish someone would answer this question regarding seat positions, I cracked my Zen and needed a boat while it was being repaired. I bought a like new but used Machno Large to paddle in meanwhile and wow! I became a paddler or (very lucky) overnight. I can maneuver this boat so much better. The seat was in the middle position and the outfitting was to my liking so I didn’t feel the need to adjust anything. I’ve paddled it about 3 months in it now. Last week for comparison, I switched boats with a friend who also has a Machno Large, but his seat is moved all the way back... and for whatever reason, his boat paddled even better for me. Granted, I haven’t taken his boat down anything other than a few class 3 drops etc. I’m wondering what is the downside or the trade off to moving my seat back that far? I know “something” has to give? Where will it come back to bite me by slamming the seat back in my Machno Large? I’m 5’10” 210lbs. but it’s an athletic build. (if that matters).... Could someone help me understand this?

@@larryadams3674 I have always found that the further back you have your seat it'll allow the bow of your kayak to ride slightly higher out of the water and your stern will sit slightly lower. This'll make it better for carrying your speed over waves and carving across into eddy's etc. The downside - your stern will sit slightly lower in the water and more likely to catch in any holes. I generally paddle a Machno in the middle position unless I'm paddling anything with big waves that I need to carry my speed over rather than plugging the bow when it's further forward. Tbh though, there's so much volume in a Machno I feel it's generally irrelevant of the seat position other than for taller paddlers who need more leg room.

Adventures of Pete definately L

Easier to lift the nose and easier to get it vertical. Each to their own tho

It comes standard with all new pyranha kayaks, I think it is also available on their website.

What size Ripper do you have, Ian?

Curious about this, my gf has the same problem in a medium ripper (OG version)@@PyranhaKayaks

Camera mount

Do you know where I can buy the piece to fix that?

I mean... it isnt broken haha. The hole doesn't go through to the inside of the boat. Its just there as a mount point for cameras, you dont have to do anything to it.

Nah like the camera attachment 😂

@@elidowler167 haha depends on the cam i guess. Amazon would be a safe bet.

That'd be a Medium Machno :)

Medium Machno. I am 75kg

Thanks forsharing your thoughts, there are two sides to the story mate. Yes the dagger outfitting is adjustable but it makes their kayaks markedly heavier than ours. One of my biggest wants from a kayak is for it to be light, I will take outfitting that is not quite as "adjustable" to save 3kg any day. Also it's interesting that you like the leg lifter so much! I always found that lifting my legs up would cause me to tip back on the seat and slouch more. I personally do the reverse and lift the back of the seat up to tilt me forwards into a naturally more aggressive position. I agree with you though, new Pyranha outfitting would be really nice. Hopefully soon!

@@Senders Hi I have always thought about lifting the back of the seat up as well! How do you do it in your kayaks?

I used a foam shim and folded it in half then tucked it in the way you showed in the video, but toward the back. Love the new more forward position. Is this what you have been doing?

Chris Clark, Buy a piece of foam block, sand it to shape and glue it in, it's not rocket science. All Daggers "next level outfitting" (as you put it) is only making the boat heavier and more junk to break and loose.

Thanks for the video, was really good btw.
