Skuxx

The Skuxx is the addition to the Waka range that we have all been waiting for. It is a fast, flowy and fun short half slice that is dynamic and nimble. Named with some hard out kiwi slang with a versatile meaning, this kayak is also Waka’s most versatile boat. Down-river freestyle, wave moves and surfing, river running, and flat water tricks this kayak is an all-rounder. 
 
The Skuxx design draws from the Steeze with width and volume around the cockpit. It has a more specific surf hull that is super loose and responsive. The tail is stable, making flat water moves and stern squirts easy. What sets the Skuxx apart though is that despite its shorter length it is still fast, floaty and comfortable in class 4-5 water, an amazing combination.
 
The Skuxx suits a wide weight range. It is easy to roll, and great for beginners through to the pros. 
The Skuxx Deluxe is the same as the Skuxx but is the “puffy” version with extra volume in the stern. This makes it ideal for harder runs where the extra volume is needed, or to help with extra pop off waves for kick flips and down river freestyle. The Skuxx Deluxe will also provide that extra volume needed for heavier paddlers to stay floating.
 
This latest edition to the Waka fleet is Skuxx!
