Description
The Nalu SHAKA is our second OC1 model and is competing our concept of designs. It is developed for the best all-round performance but optimised for downwind and surf conditions. It has a slightly more progressive rocker-profile than the Supersonic and the volume is concentrated more in the middle of the hull. At 6,20m it is shorter than the Supersonic, which makes the canoe react faster, turn better, and catch and ride waves easier. But we also paid careful attention to make sure we keep the good glide in the flats for all-round best performance.
At Nalu Canoes, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of OC1 design, and the Nalu SHAKA stands as a testament to our dedication to delivering the best in outrigger canoe innovation. Whether you’re navigating challenging downwind conditions or savouring the excitement of riding ocean waves, the Nalu SHAKA is designed to elevate your paddling experience.
