OG
OG
The OG was designed purely on trying to make a kayak that gives you more confidence. In order to do this Waka went back to what many people refer to as the best kayak ever made, The Waka Tuna 1. They added more rocker and also trying to take some of the good points from the Tuna 2. The OG is a wider design and floats high over big and boily water to keep you out of trouble. The extra width is what gives this boat it’s unique character making it so maneuverable, light and loose on the water. If you’ve never paddled boats like this before with a wide flat hull it can be a little tricky to get used to and take a bit of adjustment but the benefits and the fun that you can have is way more than in a traditional narrow boat.
The OG has been designed purely on trying to make a kayak that gives you bigger balls whilst keeping you dry and high and looking fly.
In order to do this we went back to what many people refer to as the best kayak ever made! The Tuna 1.
We added more rocker, some sexy lines whilst trying to take some of the good points from the Tuna 2.
We never wanted this boat to be super fast, we just wanted the paddlers to rock up scout a hole and say ” Even if I miss my boof the OG will get me through”. Whilst thinking in the back of your mind that your mates paddling other branded boats will surely get a beating before I do! ( True Fact)
We have some aggressive rails on the bottom. Aniol, Sven and myself were also concerned about this. Yet they work perfectly, you can steer the kayak with the rail and still turn on a dime with a sweep. Not to mention flat spins whilst surfing on a wave.
On the top deck we have tried to make the boat as sexy as possible. Looking to the Batmobile for inspiration.
All in all more than anything we are just stoked to have a kayak that makes you feel like you are the man or woman.
