How does it compare to a Rewind? Sounds like a completely different boat based on your review. Do you think the Rewind is more playful? Does the Rewind have more primary stability and probably slower? I'd love a half-slice blow molded boat. Very limited options.
Any thoughts on the Party Pike, considering either it or the Ripper 2 for my daughter (65kg) she’s sat in both and thinks the party Pike is a better fit(she’s currently in a Diesel 60)
I have a feeling they designed this boat with "extreme" slalom in mind. How does this compare to the rexy in general in your opinion? I hope you can get your hands on an exo Zion and dragorossi kush. Both look like very good boats.
Thanks a bunch Wade for the numerous reviews! I just ordered my pike because I like how agile and nimble it is. I you want to taillee more easily, did you consider to move the seat back? I guess this way you get the stern down much easier. Cheers, Martin.
I wanted one until I saw this. If it can’t out perform what I already have, I have no use for it. Sweet looking boat though. Maybe Prijon will refine it and make it a must have.
This is why I do these reviews for that reason to give paddlers that don’t have the option or access to demo and can at least give a good idea what the kayak is all about thanks for watching buddy
Yes at the time this video there was not but did see they released that not long after this curious if my video inspired it now I’m very curious to revisit this design in the party version
I demoed one recently and I hated it. it felt very tippy and heavy (I don’t mind the non existent primary stability, I have a party braaap). I didn’t find it particularly playful or enjoyable. As soon as you stop paddling, the boat goes another direction and is definitely not going through eddy lines smoothly. And I agree: it doesn’t feel like a half slice. But it felt like it could be a good race boat.
I did not hate it but think it could have been way better then it was seems we have the same feedback not very playful and when not driving the shit out of it the thing will go in any direction it wants

Rewind is just better in every way other than speed

I never seen one in person they never made it to USA so I’m going to say rip 2 all the way
Need to have a go in one, not least so because it has my surname on it 😅, like the slalom lines. Wonder how it would be as a C1 ?
no there is a party pike
@@WadeHarrison yes I looked it up. Will keep my eyes peeled for a borrow of someone's 👍

Exactly I agree after the first few rapids I was like yup

thanks for the feedback so true is sporty and in this video the seat was all the way back

Worth watching for a view of the Royal Gorge and Arkansas River. Never heard of the area.
Agree that canyon is next level made it very difficult to focus on the boat with views like that
Hi Wade maybe you know already, there is now a party version of the pike. Cheers Martin.

That river looks incredible!
Definitely one of the most scenic rivers in Colorado
Nice!
What paddle are you using?
Looks like a g power twister creek
Yup the Gpower twister creek
wave deflectors work well form video, pops out hole good, if it is not flying over it. Thx for review.
They had some small effect but needed to be deeper grove
I tried one on the Soca and it kicked my ass, also I couldn't roll it reliably because the hip position was different than my Ripper
I could see that
So the prion is probably watching you - they made the party pike 😁
Hahah maybe
It looks prijon allways wants to have a fast downriver boat
I was thinking it’s their extreme slalom boat
Was a bit boring
Definitely wasn’t the best
