About Me
Grade 4 kayaker. I have paddled this boat in different types of rivers and waterfalls.
Pros / The Good
The Waka got massive amounts of speed,. It will get you trough holes very easily since it got an auto-boof design.
It seems to be very good at holding a line through rought water and it spins on a coin when you want to change direction.
It got great primary and secondary stabillity and surfs very well.
It doesnt roll as good as an old wavesport habitat but you will roll it easily.
The outfitting is very comfortable and easily adjustable. 2 screws on each side of the seat will slide it back and forth.
The hip pads are probably the best around, adjustable in length and amount of grab to you're hip will ensure a superb fit.
Great edges that will make you go into eddies like a champion !

Cons / The Bad
the first ones sold had a problem with the brackets attached to the seat wich was too small and the seat would loosen- Waka Fixed it!

It seems to get easily deformed on impact at the back, but way stronger than a pyranha Burn 2. We tested it !
It got some really shitty stretchy bands (ehm like rubber bands) between your feet thats supposed to hold a throw line or a drinking bottle.
