Gord's Gear tips: How to set up your Pyrahna outfitting

[@Cary_Glenn]

Of course Pyranha drops their new boat on the same day as I watch this video and it has new outfitting. I know it is popular to complain about Pyranha outfitting I find their outfitting solid and reliable. You helped me do the back band adjustment on my Ozone. I found that I didn't need to do it on my Scorch. Thigh hookers are a must. Paddling a boat without them feels weird now. Give me Pyranha's outfitting over Jackson's any day of the week. But I'm old and I still have a boat that has no back band just a hunk of foam for the back and Yakima racks for foot pegs.

I am so glad it helped you 🙂 Thigh hookers are game changers. I asked Pyrahna if their new outfitting will be in other boats and they said no. It will only be in the reactor and the new playboat

I’ve got these mods on my Firecracker and Scorch. I have no idea how people paddle without thigh hookers or the back band mod. I personally don’t take the three bolts out, I just dive in upside down :D The other mod I find really useful is drilling a hole in the end of the strap and putting a knotted power cord through it to stop them slipping out when getting out.

I could not paddle these boats without them. Especially in my Ripper 2 large. Haha nice I'll try diving in upside down next time. That's smart with the power cord.

Nice! I always do the back-band mod, although I'm considering trying an IR in my Firecracker. Because the seat pan is deep at the back, I form cut some 1/2 foam to level it a bit more. The single biggest improvement in comfort and performance that I got out of the Firecracker, due to its higher knee position, was taking out the Hookers and modding in a set of Jackson Bees Knees - more leg padding, and I can widen my knees to the extent I want.

So why not just buy a boat that has outfitting that you dont have to fix? What is this 1995? Dagger has fixed this years ago. I like pyrahna's hull shapes but there outfitting has not kept up with the rest of the field. Not to mention that you can see through the plastic now.
