Pyranha Storm Elite

A shorter, sharper half-slice for paddlers who want to throw down, this Storm is one to chase ⛈️.

The new Storm design from Pyranha really does have one of their looses hulls to date, get ready to have fun on the river like you haven't had before, surf and spin ever wave, splat every rock, cartwheel every hole. In the new design you really will get dizzy and smile more than you have for a looooooong time.

The wider hull, evolved rail design, and a completely revised rocker profile create what might be the loosest half-slice design we have ever paddled. Incorporating lessons learnt from the ReactR, the Storm allows you to lock in directional control by engaging the rails on a wave, in a hole, or while paddling downstream, and spins like a hurricane to your delight when flat.

The Storm’s volume distribution is a progression from that of the Firecracker, designed to keep the bow dry when paddling, but allow lightning-fast engagement and response with impressive pop for bigger air when throwing downriver moves.

A refined bow shape, and a strong recurved rocker profile at the tail boost the speed of the Storm. The overall waterline has been developed to maintain that speed, and lower the plaining barrier, meaning surfing has less resistance on waves of all sizes and depths.

The Storm is a revolutionised half-slice design, coming in three sizes, and bringing unrestrained freeride potential with it.
