the four twenty was a boat i considered gettin not long ago. :ask:

i loved it, its roomy, fast (for its length), and is effortless when vertical.

the only draw bak for me was the sizing. pyranha have gone with the two size option and not the three this time around, leaving me between the two boats.

the rails can be a little twitchy if ur not used to a livel boat, but other than that its cool. the only other thing would be deciding if u like the pryanha out fitting, but thats personal.

demo.......... u'll like it.

I havent paddled one because im inbetween sizes. other boats to try would be the project, rad, the newest style of kingpin, the crazy, fluid flirt. just go and demo demo demo until you find the one you like the best.

But if you are not sure try to demo both boats if you can this should push you one way or the other!

i dont know about bliss stick but i must say that i realy dont like pyranha's outfitting. the back band wont saty still and looks flimsey, the foot plate/rest wobbles about and also in the 4 twenty they've cut holes in the seat to save weight but i think it looks like a weak spot. as i say i have no idea about the bliss stick outfitting it could be worse and whats to stop you customising your outfitting and ir backband jackson happy feet would sort out the worst problems

Punching through holes was pretty sketchy.

Being at the upper end of the weight range for it, the bow tends to dive sometimes on waves, but I like it a lot. The outfitting is pretty solid. I've only tried the larger 4Twenty. I liked the design, but it was far too big for me to really get a feel for it. Cheers, Ross
