Thanks for the review, Wade! Looks like a great day on the water, and love that stern stall paddle bounce move! haha! BTW, blue buckle on the back of the backrest will allow you to tighten that backrest up a little more, if you like.

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks 😊

[@jordanbach5393]

That was fun to watch!

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks buddy

[@gpalmer456]

Great shot of the guy tipping after your splat lol

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks!

[@smuir6104]

You make it all look so easy.

[@WadeHarrison]

Water Goat thanks

[@canoerichie1]

Never bought a Pyranha boat but this could be my next playboat!

[@WadeHarrison]

Awesome if you decide comment on what you think of it??

[@spud4169]

Thanks 👌

[@WadeHarrison]

No problem 👍

Totally agree about the knee pad being too small. Sticky backed foam is provided, and does help. But often my knee ends up hitting right on the edge of the pad and it hurts. I ended up moving my thigh braces all the way back to get pad behind my knee. Dagger, Jackson, Waka, and LL all have plenty of padding so your knee is on padding all the time. No idea why Pyranha makes theirs so tiny. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@WadeHarrison]

It’s crazy small details like that Pyranha misses? It’s such a easy fix right out the factory like you said JK LL dagger Waka all just put a pad there never a issue with those at all

[@brentwade9346]

I tried mine back, but now I have the nuts on the front of the braces digging into both of my knees. I also find my ass slides around in this boat, but that said being said I love this boat so far - gonna do Wade's backband hack today and work some more on the outfitting so it's ready for the park this weekend. I sold my Project X and bought this since I'm not a spud boater at all, but now I wish I'd have kept it and found a way to swap the outfitting into the Ozone ;-)

[@brentwade9346]

Added the thigh hookers, and ran some velcro in the knee area to add extra foam and pad over the forward nuts from the knee braces - did the backstrap re-route and also put velcro straps on the bottom of the hip pad pockets to lock them in place better - boat fits like a glove now.

I got to try a friend's medium the other week. It was squirrely as heck, but so much fun. As I told others, it kicked my butt all down the river, but it was the most fun butt kicking I have had. Having said that, I am about 195 lbs with no gear. So, I don't realistically think the medium would be a good boat for me if I had to put anything in it. My concern is that the large would be too big and lose all that made the medium so fun. Unfortunately, there is no large I can try out. What are your thoughts on that? For, what it is worth, I have a Z.One and a Necky Orbit Fish, so I figure this kind of slots in between those.

[@WadeHarrison]

Try the firecracker Large

[@againstthegrain4813]

I've recently been tuning into your channel, excellent videos! I picked up a Pyranha Ripper on a whim last year, looking into paddles. What paddle/length are you using in this video?

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks for watching and the paddle that I use for playing mostly is my old AT super light you can’t get them anymore I had this one for 8years a good alternative to this blade if I break it is the Werner double diamond

[@WadeHarrison]

Oh I always use a 200cm because most of my play is down River type not just sitting in a hole and doing tricks

[@againstthegrain4813]

Excellent! I have been looking at Warner paddles. Thanks for the review/tips. Can't wait to try the ripper this summer.

[@kevinhill.8]

Great boat control! Walkthrough video coming soon, or did you decide against it?

[@WadeHarrison]

Yes just need to edit it so coming soon...

[@emiliangade2202]

Beautiful 🙈👍

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks 😊

[@d.j.d.5617]

Just picked up an Ozone never having had any type of slicey boat it’s “twitchiness” is hard to get used to(my other boat is a Wavesport Phoenix so chalk and cheese)

[@WadeHarrison]

Ozone and Phoenix nice combination

[@oregonxyz]

Took one out on some flat water just to kick it around. It was so tippy for me that I flipped it just messing around. A little harder to complete the roll than a fuller volume boat. Not the boat for me. I can't handle the narrowness. I wish the made and X large wider and more volume. I can't see me being able to go downriver in this boat.

[@WadeHarrison]

Yes it’s so narrow in the back I liked this boat but didn’t love it I love the ripper 2

[@patrickbusche5665]

This Video is one of my favorites of your channel, well done, is a bodyweigh of 209,4 lbs. still okay for this boat ...?

[@WadeHarrison]

Thanks for watching buddy and at your weight you will want the large not the medium the ozone is very small in the tail

[@patrickbusche5665]

@@WadeHarrison Okay, thanks 😎👍

[@harryfettes393]

How does it compare to a Jackson 2010 4 Fun? It looks like it is intended to fulfill the same purpose.

[@WadeHarrison]

dam that's a throwback its been awhile since I paddled a FUN and I do remember it was a pretty good boat I think its way less aggressive the Ozone the ozone is more of a aggressive down river 3/4 slice boat the FUN is more of a well rounded river runner that has some play built in

[@harryfettes393]

@@WadeHarrison there was a few versions of the Fun. The 2010 is the one that most closely resembles the stars. My all time favourite boat. I've got 2 of them ( like hens teeth in Scotland). My 15 year old prodigy who's been WW kayaking since age 4 has the Fun, he's 6' 150 pounds and he can flatwater cartwheel and macho move it like a promo video. ( I taught him everything he knows but I've forgotten how, getting old 🤥).

There’s that paddle trick again 😮

hahah cross bow switch

Was that raft guide saying something at 7:30?

[@WadeHarrison]

I where ear plugs most time when I’m slice boating so couldn’t make it out. I know a lot of raft guides hate me because I’m goofing around so much and having to much fun with the customers and raft bumping the customers love it they always give me high fives and laughing but most of the guides on the Ocoee are always angry about something maybe just life and I’m a easy guy to not like I get it so yeah he was upset about that bump and complained more down stream to me but it’s all good I probably got him a bigger tip

[@DrRepper]

@@WadeHarrison raft guides are like that everywhere. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

[@WadeHarrison]

@@DrRepper hahhaha I get it we all get aggravated at some point...

How does this kayak perform in ocean? 🏂

[@WadeHarrison]

Have not had it on the ocean yet but thinking it would be fun there..

[@shalldg829]

hey this boats how does it cost? I will buy it.

[@WadeHarrison]

Not sure what the question is but if you looking to get one there are dealers all over the USA

[@ryanpotochnik1374]

The rachets suck I have one and when they pop out there a pain in the ass to get back in.

[@WadeHarrison]

ryan potochnik yes I agree they do come out from time to time but I got used to sliding them back pretty quick..

[@acousticfixation]

What size is that ozone?

[@WadeHarrison]

Its a Med

[@acousticfixation]

@@WadeHarrison it’s me again 😂 thanks!!

[@derekbell5333]

It’s narrow…can you relax at all in this boat or do you have to stay on it?

[@WadeHarrison]

oh its very aggressive u have to stay on it always or your upside down.

[@derekbell5333]

@@WadeHarrison thanks. I think this a perfect boat fir my local 2-3 run. Would make boring runs fun!

[@sethcox3826]

Pyranha outfitting is not my favorite. Such a great boat being deteriorated by the outfitting is so sad

[@WadeHarrison]

Yeah I agree it can use work I think Pyranha has been listening and will be making changes

[@sticksstones8498]

You're just not fit for this pyranha. 😁

[@WadeHarrison]

Hahah 🤔
