Pyranha Kayaks welcomes Heidi Walsh to the Team

They are always innovating and looking to create the best designs for every kind of kayaker. As someone who loves all things kayaking, having an epic option for every style of whitewater excites me a lot.

UK paddler Heidi Walsh has had a standout year, traveling through 14 countries with 308 days on the river and stacking 48 personal first descents. She wrapped up the season by announcing her switch to Pyranha Kayaks and is now paddling the ReactR.

Heidi has already shown what she can do in her new boat. On a recent trip to Mexico, she put down strong runs on Truchas, Twisted Pleasure, Dirty Sanchez, Lower Jalacingo, Tomata 1, and, not least, Tomata 2.
