Waka Manu - key features

KayakWaka Manu represents a new era of creek fishing that emphasizes dynamics and efficiency of the shot. The name "Manu" in Maori means bird, which perfectly describes the character of this boat - lightness, agility and the ability to "fly over" rollers and waves that would stop any other boat. The developers at Waka Kayaks have targeted this model at riders looking for a boat capable of dominating extreme races, but also providing a high level of safety throughdisplacement 380 litres. The Manu excels in its ability to keep the tip dry and high above the water, giving the rider time and space to make the key shot in the rapids even in high flow situations.


Detailed information

Product detailed description

Hull, stability and handling

The hull of the shipWaka Manu is the result of a quest for the perfect balance between speed and manoeuvrability. With a length of 275 cm and a width of 70 cm, the boat offers a stable platform, but thanks to the sophisticatedbow rocker remains incredibly spinny. The lower fuselage is designed with predictable edges that provide support in the roll, but are not aggressive in the wake. Unique displacement distribution (volume shift) ensures that Manu immediately rises above the surface after each jump or passage through the cylinder. The hull geometry is optimized to keep the boat on track and not bounce uncontrollably off rocks, making it a precision tool for technical creeking.


Comfort and safety

Interior kayak equipmentWaka Manu relies on simplicity and functionality, which is typical of the Waka brand. The outfitting is designed to be both easy to adjust and durable in the toughest conditions:

  • Adjustable Seat and Backband - ergonomic seat and backrest adjustable with ratchets for a firm connection to the boat.
  • Thigh braces - integrated thigh rests for precise control of the boat in roll.
  • Full Plate Footrest - adjustable footplate that increases safety and protection of the feet when hitting rocks.
  • Central Pillars - front and rear foam columns for increased hull rigidity and easier abandonment of the boat in a crisis situation.
  • Grab Handles - five sturdy handles for easy handling and rescue on the water.
