Best on water review you’ll find right here, that boat looks fun
hey thanks buddy
Man, it looks absolutely effortless on the stern and yet it still looks like it rides over stuff and keeps moving! That's a good combo!
Dude can't wait to get your thoughts on this one too
@@WadeHarrison yeah, looking forward to getting my hands on one!
I tried it on the Tryweryn a couple days ago. It's a super fun boat. Ridiculously happy with the tail in the water making tailies, pirouettes and splats a total joy. When you get the tail down it feels super balanced and stable on end. I think the design of the boat puts trim a little back of centre, so to make it more of a river runner people are gonna want the seat forward, or just keep enjoying effortless tailies all the way down at normal setting.
Yesss! Thank you. As soon as I started paddling the scorch I started wondering if they’d get a ripper 2 out with a little more rocker and of course they were working on it. Have loved how easy it is to go between my large ripper and scorch. Guessing this’ll be even more similar. Thanks again for the preview. Excited to try one now here in the gorge
thanks for watching
Finally. Those side by side video teasers were driving me insane.
hahha you ask for it jon
Looks good, the whole time I wondered if the seat needed moving forwards and you addressed that subject at the end of the video. I understand why they choose that seat system for creek boats but for playboats I'd like an easily adjustable system.
I look forward to trying one soon.
so true great minds think alike 😜thanks for the feedback judy
Good stuff Wade !!!
thanks GUTH
I am looking forward to trying the large. I have had a good look at the medium and it looks good. Most people I have met who have paddles it have been positive about it.
Yeah the large should be out soon from what I was told
I’ve already ordered mine. Can’t wait for it to get here. Thanks for the on water review. It looks sick!
want to hear what you think when you get it Dylan
@@WadeHarrison for sure! I’m sure I’m gonna love it. We are similar in size and your reviews usually translate well for me. Im pretty excited about this boat…
I got the chance to paddle this boat today and I was directly addicted. Its just so dope to paddle and I think I will buy myself one even if its a little bit expensive.
Pyranha really did mix a down river boat with a spicy tail
@@WadeHarrison I just ĺove it and the good news is even if its a little expensive I can sell my old Axiom and my playboat because I don't need them any more when I have a Ripper 2 it combines the nice slice heck and abilities of a playboat with the riverrunning abitlities of a riverunner its just perfect.
We think you've bagged the first loop, again! Loving the phrase you used, too; 'Turns on a dime and gives you change back!' - we gonna have to use that (but in GBP, of course!) 😜
We understand your concern about the tail bending, but those rails that continue all the way back should provide enough structure to prevent it, and the stern central buoyancy does extend past the stern handle (it's a full meter long).
As always, we appreciate you taking the time and being fair and honest!
I really hope y'all don't get rid of the mold for the o.g. ripper! The ripper 2 looks like a good boat, but the original is great because it's totally uncompromising and it paddles unlike anything else on the market. Long live Ripper 1!
@@zca4783 thanks for the love! We've certainly not made any compromises with the 2, either - just learnt from our time with the original Ripper and made tweaks to the design to make it even better!
I appreciate you guys being so involved in the customer market just by addressing concerns and questions on user groups and videos stuff like that goes a long way to the end consumer keep up the good work 🤩
How's this thing will splat on a pound and gives you 50 pence back 😂
@@WadeHarrison thanks!
Love these videos! One tip for the GoPro, if you go into the settings and turn the wind filter off, the muffled sound after the camera takes a dunking will last a lot less time (the camera thinks the water Ingress is wind so it aggressively applies the filter to all of the mics, which is why it sounds muffled). Will certainly look at taking one of these for a demo!
trust me its off I never run that setting this is just part of doing these in real time this is not paddling a creek boat and sitting and talking between rapids when im in a play boat or halfslice the mics are full of water every rapid because of my vert style and I have no idea how it sounds until in get home and go through it
thanks for the feedback Simon always trying to improve
@@WadeHarrison No problem Wade. Good to hear. I found that the HERO9 onwards seemed to clear much quicker (almost instantly) with the wind filter off. Maybe the pre-9s take longer to clear. You do damn fine work though man, keep it up!
@@WadeHarrison Just a question about it's surfing. At one point it sounds like you're saying you're not sure you like the way it surfs. Does it just need that dialling in you mentioned? Like maybe adjust the seat based on the type of run you do? Going to be a while before I get to demo one because they are always out at the moment due to demand!
@@simonwyndham yeah it surfs great but the slightest of feedback you give it you will loose its like the long rails when in straight line surf beautiful but give it to much lean left or right your gone it’s not like boats like the rewind Antix ect that have a good surf with more forgiving to paddlers mistakes so that’s what I was getting at once your find that balance you will love that feel of locked in does that make sense it’s kinda hard to explain
Next level would be getting that R1 that was close to you to shoot something other than GoPro POV shots to get an idea of how it looks from a different vantage point as you go down river. Definitely a lot more effort for your filming and editing processes, but would send your videos to the next level. That said, thank you for all the effort and care you take to provide information to the community at large. Thanks!
Great review Wade, where would you put the r2 in your best half slice ranking?
oh boy that's a tough one might have to do a video about that soon lol
Nice video! Are you going to do a review of the Warrior ? It can be cool.
yes
It’s going to be hard to beat a rewind. I love my rewind but I’ll have to give this boat a demo soon. Great review as always Wade
rewind is so good i agree but this is different feel
Rome Robinson. Would love to hear what you think once you’ve tried the Ripper 2
@@stuartreedsadventures I actually tried one at tuck fest yesterday. It was like nothing I’ve ever paddled before. It seemed to have a stupid amount of rocker in the bow. When you first hop in it seems like you are riding a wheelie there is so much rocker. It went over all the holes with ease. Didn’t seem as fast as the 1.0. The 2.0 is easier to get vertical and once you get it up it wants to spin a lot. The last thing I seemed to notice was it liked to skip out of drops kinda like the modern creek boats now a days. I need more seat time to tell how I feel about it compared to the rewind though. The rewind is a great all around half slice. Does everything really well. The ripper 2.0 seemed very edgy and more playful than the rewind but probably wouldn’t take it down the mank compared to the rewind I wouldn’t mind to. Hope this helps. The 2.0 is definitely a new breed of boat that is fun but as of now I’d pick the rewind cuz it does everything so well
@@romerobinson8279 I’m leaning towards the Rewind, 99%. Ripper 2 looks great but almost too playful at the stern for me. I like the Rocker but the rewind isn’t far off from watching comparisons. Can play in the rewind if want, but move seat forwards and can run rivers too. That’s my take, having not paddled either yet.
@@stuartreedsadventures you hit the nail on the head! That’s my take after paddling both. The rewind is so versatile
Bang up review and running that through its paces... Any comparison to the Waka Goat anytime soon? Intriguing minds ;-)
yup
Thanks for the video really enjoyed but question I’m newer to whitewater do u think the ripper 2 is a boat to learn out of? Or should I get something more like the scorch X?
Well those are pretty drastically different I would say the ripper 2 would be one of those boats that will speed up some moves and might be little to aggressive at times the scorch would be a good choice not the X as more a first boat
Looks awesome, I'll have to try one. My concern would be the bow up tendency. I went from a large ripper 1 to a medium rewind and I heavily preferred the rewind. There's a volume change so not the best comparison but I felt this knees up position in the ripper that made me want to crunch. After a full day my abs were blasted and if I relaxed I'd get tail stomped and be all over the river. The rewind I could relax more. Still needed driven but I didn't feel like my feet were over my hips in it. I love the stern on the ripper 2 and it looks like I could throw it over the moon with my 220 lbs. I'll just have to see if or rides like the ripper and the Ozone did with the back tilt feeling. My scorch x doesn't do that and I love that boat.
Would be good idea to move seat and everything forward if that a issue
@@WadeHarrison I'll have to get my hands on a demo and sell some plasma to pay for it....
Great review!!!!
Can I ask which position you had the seat? My Ripper 1 was best at the back (I think this was your advice and it worked), so wondering if the Ripper 2 is the same in this regard?
in the center where it should probably stay, I felt I would want t actually try this one all the forward lol but doubt it
Ah interesting.
Thanks Wade, I’ll start with that position when my one arrives. It’ll be interesting to see if it replaces my Ripper 1 or whether I sell it on.
Fingers crossed
The Ripper 1 handles pretty stout whitewater really well, barely gets backendered and gets through holes well etc. How do you think the Ripper 2 compares? The big bow will boof nice, but does it generally feel confident?
Its got a way better bow profile for blasting over stuff
Dagger fanboy and I think I’m sold
Pyranha been nailing it on the design lately
Hi wade, I'm curious about your opinion. I've watched a lot of reviews, etc. I've been kayaking on and off during school and have absolutely loved it. Now outside of school I am looking to get my own gear and kayak to join a club and go on more trips. I've done mostly level 2 rivers as well as a level 3 river with RPM Daggers. But I think I'd like to try a different kayak than that. Any advice?
The rpm is a ok start but there are better options out there
@@WadeHarrison which option would you recommend the most?
@@ZNX-ye1ts ripper 1 or rewind
Have you looked at the large yet? Interested to try one out but most of the large half slices so far are almost too large at 220 lbs.
It’s still in development from what I was told so No don’t think anyone has
The release was good
yes
Nice video
thanks frog
@@WadeHarrison no thank u
Is the boat an improvement over the original ripper? Love your videos and content!!
Yes drastically different style
which do you prefer Wade, the ripper 2 or the scorch for river running ? still loving your video reviews especially as we dont get anything like this in the uk. Keep them coming mate.
River running the scorch is so perfect the ripper 2 is a good mix of play and river running
With your last reply in mind its thrown me another question mate ?
Given that our rivers are typically smaller than your videos "ie" not as deep or wide, as a river running play boat how would you compare the ripper 2 to the Antix 2.0.
My way of thinking is the Antix has a shorter wider stern so wont hang up on rocks so much. ???
Im looking to buy a rewind to repace my axiom but in europe its realy hard to get them. So I thought that the ripper2 maybe could be an alternative. A concern of my is that the rails are a bit to agressive compared to the rewind (looking at your comparison video). Somthing I love about the rewind is the feeling of confidence it gives you. Does the ripper2 also has that confidente feeling like the rewind?
Yeah that’s actually a really good concern the ripper 2 is very spicy compared to the old faithful rewinds
Wade the audio on your channel is often poor when you're running stuff but this time it really poor when you're discussing the pro and cons of the boat. Also it comes and goes depending on which way your facing.
Yup trust me I know I have to edit this stuff buddy and its part of doing reviews in real time you really have no idea what the video or audio going to be until you get home and go through it? that's why the on-river content helps you can just see kinda how it paddles always trying to improve thanks for the feedback
@@WadeHarrison no worries I still watch. I'm no expert but there maybe software that can help or add a studio commentary post filming, just suggestions.
@@harryfettes393 I’m the worst when it comes to editing I hate it I can’t sit in front of cpu for more the few minutes without wanting to go do something else these people that take like 5 days to make a kayak video for UA-cam 😂 hey more power to you the last thing I need is more software in my life I will definitely keep trying to be mindful of wind and water I have a new idea for my final thoughts I might start doing so will see
Does it have that wonderful feeling of lightness on the water that the Scorch has?
up front yes in the back no
I think it's time for another Rewind vs Ripper 2.0 review Wade?!
I did a comparison one
It seems like with how low volume the stern is, at 175lbs would you wait for the large if you wanted to run class 4 with this boat?
175 go medium it fits large so my guess the large will be very big and this will handle class 4-5 at your weight better then you think
How about spinning/grinding this thing on a green wave?
No it’s not good for that..
What size IR skirt are you using with the Ripper 2?
I use the Large on everything but should have the XL for Pyranha cockpits
I’m on wait list for a Small, and my main two concerns right now are that this boat might:
1. Feel unbalanced with all that bow rocker and volume and such a low volume stern
2. Lock onto waves and not really be nimble w such a long, low, wide (beaver) tail. That’s how my Goat felt to me on a wave, whereas the short tail on my Antix 2.0 makes it fantastic for carving on waves. 🦫
very valid points Kevin
Hello... how do you rate ripper 2 compared to ripper 1?
Ripper 1 more river running play ripper 2 more tail play and less river running
Medium or Large in this vid? This creek is my wet dream!
Medium in this but after paddling the Large I own one I feel this was to easy to stern stall for me I like more volume in my HalfSlice boats
@Wade now you have to find Lettmann Machete
There’s one in the USA that I’m aware of and it’s 18hours of driving to go paddle it 😂 so when more become available yes
In terms of speed, how does it compare to the ripper 1?
Definitely slower but the ripper 2 was faster then I thought it would be
For downriver play, Antix or Ripper?
hard to beat the play ability of the antix 2 let just say this one is different in its own way
Does it skip as good as the scorch?
no but close
How is it compared to the antix 2.0 and the ripper 1?
What up Matteo yeah buddy short answer Antix 2 one best playboating HalfSlice out there ripper 1 one of the best river running HalfSlice out there Ripper 2 is seriously a good mix of both
@@WadeHarrison thanks wade 🙌😎
And spell my name correctly next time 😅
@@matteokayak 😂 dam I do that all the time buddy I just fixed it
Where is this?
It’s the ocoee river in TN USA
Its exactly the same as the titan nymph
I not seen that boat in person but from the pictures it’s got rails that the nymph does not so to say it’s exactly the same well that’s a stretch
@@WadeHarrison its not that much of a stretch, I had them both side by side on the weekend the rails on the ripper 2 are slightly more pronounced the the nymph but in exactly the same places .
@@andynichols5504 I agree a lot of the newer HalfSlice are all fairly close do you have a video of this comparison somewhere I would like to see it
