Skuxx

The Skuxx is the latest addition to the Waka fleet that we have all been waiting for. It is a fast, flowy and fun short half slice that is dynamic and nimble. Named with some hard out kiwi slang with a versatile meaning, this kayak is also Waka’s most versatile boat. Down-river freestyle, wave moves and surfing, river running, and flat water tricks this kayak is an all-rounder. It draws from the Steeze with width and volume around the cockpit. It has a more specific surf hull that is super loose and responsive. The tail is stable, making flat water moves and stern squirts easy. What sets the Skuxx apart though is that despite its shorter length it is still fast, floaty and comfortable in class 4-5 water, an amazing combination. It suits a wide weight range. It is easy to roll, and great for beginners through to the pros.  

The Skuxx is equipped with easy to adjust outfitting:

• Seat: The seat is Roto-moulded. It has three screw holes under the hip pads on seat tab to adjust the seat position. Just loosen two screws and the seat will slide forward and backwards. The seat is very comfortable, especially over longer periods of time.
• Hip Pads: Shaped pads are provided that velcro onto the seat. Also they have two straps that go around the seat to provent loosing them in a swim. Two extra pads for each side are provided for easy adjustment. You can put one or two pads between the shaped pad and the seat as required.
• Back-band: The back-band is extremely comfortable. It has two ratchets and ladders, making it easy to adjust and tighten. It can be adjusted even more by altering the length of webbing on the back of the back-band. The back-band has been mounted to allow for easy access to any safety equipment or overnight gear stored behind the seat.
• Thigh braces: The thigh braces are extremely comfortable. They are simple, light weight and most importantly, very effective, giving you perfect control. The thigh braces in the Steeze have purposely been left longer for extra knee grip for the full on boaters. If you find this is to much or want easier exiting from your boat you can easily trim the braces down 5mm-10mm preferably with a rasp.
• Foot-block: The foot-block is fully adjustable thanks to four thumb-nuts on the inside of the hull. The width of the foot-block is also adjustable, depending on the position of the foot block.
