[Sluggecko]

Ouhou! So good!

Good choice for music héhé!

[thekrakken23]

Great Vid gets me totally stoked to go! Question for anyone? For kayak surfing (ocean) is it ok for the tip of the boat to be pointed like some whitewater kayaks?

[tpd513]

awsome video man that boat is verry fast

[thekrakken23]

What type/Name of kayak is that?

freakin sick

[kayakrkayakr]

composite, wow.

I posted an independent review for an element on boatertalk. It's the s#$ts on a big pitching point break.

[thefishmunga]

OMG what a great video! i tell you though, that cameraman is machine. i mean he's literally doing two jobs! that guy in the video is pretty average. what kind of a name is andrewp49 anyway. i'm guessing andrewp1-48 were taken. and who surfs sitting down? this is the kind of sport eric cartman would do. "screw you guys, i'm going home!"

[andrewp49]

Hey guys good news, the element is now available in composite! I have been paddling one for a few weeks and this thing rocks! I'll hopefully put up a new video in the next few weeks.

That is so sweet......where r u

read the description

[jackyirishboy]

is a pyranha s6x any good for stuff like this?

[andrewp49]

No.

[jackyirishboy]

how come?

[andrewp49]

The shape of its hull makes it slow on a wave, its designed for bouncing not carving. The fins on the s6x wont have much effect either and the ones on the sidewall are a complete gimmick. If you are looking for a older boat that will perform alright in the ocean look as something like a riot tekno.

[jackyirishboy]

what about the recoil m? i appreciate your help by the way :) is a river runner better for surfing?

[andrewp49]

The recoil looks a little better but is still not ideal. When looking for a kayak for the ocean you want a boat with very little stern rocker and a good carving edge. The element kinda sits in the middle of a full on surf kayak and a playboat. If you want to do want i was doing in the video you are going to need a really fast playboat. Most surf kayaks are not designed to do those kind of moves. Or you could go with a regular playboat and loose the ability to carve and outrun the section.

[p51pilot28]

i use a pyranha Rev M. bouncy as hell, great for using in the surf and also on waves and holes in the river. check it out.

[blitzroute66]

i use a liquidlogic vision, it's super fast on the carve with stupid sharp edges for a playboat, if you can get used to one, give it a go! it's truly awesome on ocean waves... quite hard to get ahold of these days though!

[Energiserr]

yes, but you will need a bigger wave, because the s6x is slower than this surfkayak.

good video and nice tricks.

[davyman13]

[aria230]

which way do you edge on the sea never been lol...spend too much time at the local ww center

[barkerjack01]

hey m8, you edge towards the wave, so if youre surfing to the right on a wave and infront of you is the beach you will be on the right hand side edge of youre boat, with youre left way out of the water. This happens until you got the other way! hahha

check my videos!

[muthaholy]

heard this song so many times, any one know the name or the bands name??

[andrewp49]

Song is called "Give it all" by "Rise Against"

The element isn't too bad on river waves, its a little tricky to get used to the edges but I've taken it down some fairly big white water. yes you can attach fins.

[YoJimbO45]

What's the Element like on rivers?

Can you attach fins to it?

[0xyTorch]

Yes, apparently it takes 4 fins which can be adjusted 20-30 degrees of rotation. The fins cost an extra au$99 on the au$1695.

On rivers? This boat is specifically designed for surf - on rivers it would probably be too edgy and have issues with the fin boxes being damaged too highly on rocks. Most sites do not recommend use on river, but as Andrewp49 sez it can be done.

[portstewartlad]

great vid relly well put together

[eskay005]

veeery nice video.The water, the speed,u really can imagine being in the kayak next to him :]

Hey Andre. Do you guys know Waveskiing. You will love it for the ocean. Check out David Arnaud pro Kayaker trying a waveski. Those guys doing amazing things on the waves with its.
