Va'a

[Chris Ostlind]

Are you realizing success with the single point iako mounting system?

From your design brief, what market are you targeting with this craft?

Will you be holding your marketing to Asian countries alone? If you are going outside of Asia, do you have any plans to bring the boat to the Outdoor Retailer Show this summer in Salt Lake City?

I'm located in SLC and would like to see your boat and paddle it if you plan to attend.

is it same width as the gif? I too like skinny.

Well, it worked fine with single bolt on mount because the stainless inserted nut stand well to the lots of load.

We are mainly forcusing on the leasuer paddling market but with a bit more speed and agility. Traditional Sit-On-Top are fine. But they are normally too volumy and sometimes awkward.

Also, Polynesian culture behind the va'a(outrigger canoe) is more attractive.

No sales plan in any area outside of the Asia at the moment.
We have to find a partner to Roto-mold them locally.

Sigurd,

It track very well, but turns nicely as well!
We followed the design of traditional Tahitian Va'a.

Now our Va'a is named "Da Iki" that named after IKI(small in Polynesian, and cool in Japanese).

We're working on re-desining its hull
