The New Pyranha ReactR vs Dagger Indra Comparison Review

[@brentwade9346]

Absolutely love my Indra, as well as the customer service at AQ. Big shout-out to Sam! This boat is unbelievably comfortable and confidence inspiring. It blasts over everything with speed and poise. Feels amazing!

What are your size dimensions and which size are you paddling? My son's and I are looking for our first hardshell whitewater kayaks, and these 2 gals are 2 that I'm looking into. We do have moderate whitewater experience in inflatables and Paddleboards(LOTS of fun) however we are looking to add some more crafts to our arsenal and to add more experience to our games:) Thanks.

@DenKwonDo thank you for the view and the comment. I am 5'9 and 165 to 170 lb. The pyranha feels big as a medium on me but with good outfitting it fits well. As my daily driver in the Indra I paddle the s/m for creekong the m/l is a better option for me

You are very welcome. Thanks so much for checking out the video and for commenting. Would love to hear what your experience is once you get in both the boats

How about an update?

Thanks for checking out the video. I have had a chance to paddle the Indra more than the ReactR though have enough time to comment on both. In full transparency I am a long time Dagger padler and love the outfiiting in their boats. At 5'9" and 165 - 170lbs the S/M Indra is an amazing teaching and river running boat, it is predictable, skips over things nicely and is (as mentioned in the video) a boat that loves to carev around the river on edge. The M/L for me feels a little big though would be my go to if I were going to paddle anything really hard in this model. In summary, it feels like a bit of a quiver killer boat in the sense that you can creek in it, surfs OK and is really zippy and fun on river runs. The ReactR is a bit more of a departure from other boats I have paddled. So far I am digging the new outfitting, I feel they knocked it out of the park. It is the first Pyranha boat I have enjoyed carrying! To me the medum does feel wide, I have added some seat paddling but feel I could do with another 2 shims to get it just right. It is an easy to control boat which never feels lie it gets away from you, the one thing I don't like is how quick it decelerates, it skips amazingly well, but then in an eddy it slows quite quickly where the Indra contiues to accelerate. The loose hull makes sweep boofs so easy, that does feel very cool and much easier than the Indra. It surfs equally well or a bit better than the Indra too. Two very different feeling boats, each with things some people will gracitate to and others will not. Hope that helps?
