Tai Manawa

Created by master paddle craftsman Conan Herbert and precision-engineered by Sonic using advanced one-piece autoclave technology, the Tai Manawa is a true all-rounder in the waka world. Its innovative removable rudder system means you can paddle it as a sleek, responsive rudderless V1, or convert it in minutes into a wave-ready, ruddered OC1 for ocean conditions.

From flatwater sprints to open ocean paddles, every curve and contour has been refined to deliver elite-level performance. It’s the waka of choice for paddlers like former World Sprints Champion Kacey Ngataki.
