Tai Manawa

Tai Manawa

Designed by Conan Herbert and manufactured by Sonic using the world leading "One piece, Autoclave" construction, the Tai Manawa is the most versatile Waka in the world. With our removable rudder system, this Waka can be paddled as a rudderless V1 and in minutes be turned into an ocean going, ruddered OC1. Countless hours have gone into the design and manufacture of the Tai Manawa to enable paddlers like former World Sprints Champion, Kacey Ngataki to perform at his absolute best.

FEATURES:
  • Adjustable footrest to accommodate all paddlers
  • Full canvas travel cover
  • Drink bottle holder

"I love the Tai Manawa because it is the fastest V1 I have ever paddled, but it also offers the versatility of paddling with a rudder when I want to" "The Tai Manawa really is the only Waka I need" - Kacey Ngataki
