Beck home - Tucuman Argentina Fabian A.B.


After my 3 month in Brazil. I went to Argentina to visit my family and friends and paddle the local creek river that we have. Click here to see location -26.98297,-65.665627 (Sosa River). Because I sold out my Everest before left Brazil I had to buy a new boat, so, I had the chance to buy from my friend Edgar a Piranha Burn L pink and black color.

Let me tell how my firth day was in Tucuman after 2 year since my last time over there. When I arrived to the airport my friend Diego was there waiting. It was a raining day. The fact is that after 5 minutes of chatting we decide not to say anything to Family and friends that I arrived and instead we load the boats on the car and head to the river. We paddled 2 very good section on Sosa River. It was awesome day or welcome day!

The Burn behaves very well on any type of creek, very easy to keep the nose up in any situation. The high rockers forces you to be a bit more awake on keeping the boat on the trajectory or balance.  It is also fast after landing, I mean, keeps the speed.

For the foot brace I would cover it with a piece of foam because I find it a little loose, it moves sideways.  Also bolts that hold the aluminum bar of the footrest get loose very often. A good solution could be to glue the screws.

I would like to remark about the plastic, let’s say after every crash or beat; any dent will come back to normal shape. For me the quality is good and also has good plastic memory.

In short, is a reliable boat.
