Ripper 2 – The Next Evolution in Half Slice Kayaks, Now with Pyranha’s Elite Outfitting

The Ripper 2 is Pyranha’s evolution of the iconic half-slice design—faster, slicier, and more playful than ever. With increased bow rocker for drier rides, a refined hull for dynamic carving, and a tail that begs to be vertical, it’s built for paddlers who want to charge hard and play harder.

Now, with Pyranha’s Elite outfitting, the Ripper 2 offers a fully customizable, high-performance fit. The 3-way adjustable thigh grips with oversized knee pads move with you, providing unmatched control and comfort. The rapid-locking backrest system uses Dyneema cord and aluminum racing cleats for secure, on-the-fly adjustments, while the ergonomic seat slides fore and aft tool-free with a single wingnut. Hip pads and seat height shims allow you to fine-tune your setup for maximum connection and leverage. Even portaging is easier, thanks to padded cockpit rims that rest comfortably on your shoulder.

Whether you're carving into eddies, launching vertical moves, or threading technical lines, the Ripper 2 with Elite outfitting delivers the precision, comfort, and responsiveness you need to take your paddling to the next level.
