OG

The OG is designed to give you confidence on the water while keeping you dry, elevated, and stylish.

To achieve this, Waka drew inspiration from what many consider the ultimate whitewater kayak—the Waka Tuna 1—and added more rocker while incorporating some features from the Waka Tuna 2.

The OG’s wider design helps it float high in big water, keeping you out of trouble. This extra width contributes to its unique character, making it highly manoeuvrable, light, and agile. While adapting to a wide, flat hull might take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to narrower boats, the benefits and enjoyment it offers far outweigh the learning curve.

Though slightly shorter and thus a bit slower in flatwater, the OG is easier to handle in tight spots. Its aggressive rails enhance steering control, allowing for precise manoeuvres and tight turns with a sweep, as well as flat spins while surfing waves. There’s ample space for overnight trips, and the boat remains buoyant even with extra weight, ensuring a good paddling experience. 

Overall, the OG is sure to make you feel like a standout paddler!

Key Features

Easy to adjust outfitting

Strong but fast adjustment to our outfitting ensures it caters to everyone from schools to experts. It has three screw holes under the hip pads on seat tab, just loosen two screws and the seat will slide forward and backwards.

Hip Pads

Shaped pads are included that attach to the seat with Velcro. Additionally, they come with two straps that secure around the seat to prevent them from coming loose during a swim.

Back-band

Two ratchets and ladders makes it easy to adjust and tighten, and can be adjusted even more by altering the length of webbing on the back of the back-band. It has also been mounted to allow for easy access to your safety equipment or overnight gear stored behind the seat.

Thigh braces

Simple, light weight, and most importantly very effective, the thigh braces in the Stoke have purposely been left longer for extra knee grip. If you find this is too 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.
