Maku Toucan: Speed and Stability on the Waves
While narrow boats can be a challenge for beginners and wide, barrel-shaped boats tend to stay in one spot on calm water, the Tukan strikes the perfect balance. It inherits fantastic forward speed from slimmer boats, but thanks to its wider midsection, it provides the crew with a valuable dose of initial stability. It’s the ideal choice for pairs who want to actively enjoy the ride, quickly glide through every eddy, and conserve energy on long, calm stretches.
Shape and Hydrodynamics: Reliable Glide
The boat's design is characterized by excellent balance for a variety of Czech rivers:
- Width 84 cm: It provides the boat with minimal water resistance for a very smooth glide, while also offering a stable base that ensures safety and stability for the entire crew.
- Pointed tips raised: They cleanly cut through the waves, effectively reducing bow splash when passing through smaller weir openings.
- Excellent response when leaning: The hull's bottom profile is shaped to keep you safely in place at the boundary between currents and allow you to lean the boat on its edge during sharper maneuvers.
Boat Construction: Solid wood and thick-walled plastic
The perfect combination of modern materials for a completely worry-free experience on the river:
- Polyethylene shell: The thick-walled plastic is designed to withstand hard impacts and summer scraping against shoals. You don't have to worry about punctures or leaks.
- Wooden seats: A traditional detail that is an integral part of the Mak. Plus, the wood feels very pleasant to the touch, and there’s no risk of it feeling cold in cold water.

Expert advice: How do you choose the right paddle length from this set? A tried-and-true rule of thumb is that when you stand with the paddle on the ground in front of you, it should reach somewhere between your chin and your nose. The stern paddler (steersman) tends to position the blade slightly below their nose to gain greater leverage for powerful and precise steering at the stern. The bow paddler (sitting in front) can comfortably use a slightly shorter paddle (reaching to the chin), which allows for a faster stroke rate when paddling forward. And as for your new canoe: The Tukan absolutely excels at the interface between currents, provided you can control it properly with your body. When entering a eddy, don’t push the boat flat into the water with force; instead, lean slightly and tilt the hull toward the inside edge. The Tukan will gain fantastic maneuverability, and the passage through the eddy will be lightning-fast and precise.
