That is awesome!!! Congrats! And good on Pyranha for realizing that the vast majority of paddlers are mere mortals that don't relate to what the 20 world's best paddlers are hucking every week! Lol! Love the channel!!
Great Choice! My husband and me, we paddle Venture/Pyranha from our beginings... all began with our used bought Venture Easky. And till February this year we both own a P&H Virgo, me the MV and my husband the bigger one in HV. We both love that kayak. I´m sure you would do too! Have a good start and good times on water.
Wow congrats I think getting sponsored by a brand like pyranha is something all paddlers dream of and to see someone with skills comparable to mine get sponsored is very inspiring
I've heard great things about Pyranha and P&H but being new to paddling and living in TX I don't have first hand experience with their products. Hoping this sponsorship means we'll get to see some reviews of the P&H and Venture products.
Awesome!! Well deserved. Good looking boat... It looks like there's brass hardware near the compass fitting. Curious what those are for, camera mounting?
Thanks dude! Like I said I was truly honored! Yeah those brass fittings are for installing a sail, something I will definitely be trying out! But I was thinking exactly the same and perhaps hacking together a camera stand 😄
Well well water well, would you look at that. Not sure who made the better decision here; you, or the brands :P As you know, I got myself a P&H too, a Scorpio II HV. We were already planning a trip to Westzaan so it was the perfect time to test my new kayak last Sunday. Taking the Scorpio 20 kms through ~25 km/h head winds with gusts up to 45 km/h. ....At least according to this one weather site claiming actual weather station data. When checking the closest KNMI weather station that records wind speeds I get even worse :D Apparently there was a gust of wind up to 16 m/s or ... *calculates* ~57 km/h during our trip (the hours match) with an average of 32 km/h. Suffice to say, while I enjoyed myself and, especially with skeg, the boat held up beautifully, I was quite pleased to be able to disembark xD Anyway, congratulations on your new kayak and collab with Pyranha / P&H / Venture
@@PaddlinDutchman It certainly was. I was most surprised by the fact that our GPS measured an average speed of 6.7 km/h considering I was basically new and a few others hadn't been on the water for ages. It was a good little tour to do with the 6 of us. And the vote is well deserved Lex, I'm sure Pyranha, P&H, and Venture agree with me :D
congratulations on cooperation. What qualifies you even though you are not a professional? Exactly that and the willingness to share your path with us.
Great to be working with you, Lex! Hopefully, we can meet in person and maybe even paddle together soon!
The pleasure is all mine! And I'll see you on the water 😎💪

Thanks! I hope my ability to make entertaining and informative videos! 😎
Been looking for a close up video of the Virgo mv/hv, on the verge of buying one or maybe delphin cant decide!
Oooohhh… I havn’t paddled a delphin, but I am very happy with the Virgo!!
Congrats mate i like her/him/it?
Thanks bro! Aren't boats automatically "hers"? Hmmm we should come up with a cool name though!
gefeliciteerd met je nieuwe kano😁
Bedankt! Het is echt een wereld van verschil met mijn oude boot!
Wat gaaf dit Lex!
Bedankt! 😋
