Nalu Supersonic
The Nalu Supersonic is the result of 15 years continuous development of the sonic line in our portfolio. The sonic started in 2007 and reached now its 5th step of evolution.
The canoe was a very good allrounder since the beginning, but we decided to develop its character more towards more hull speed and efficiency in flat to moderate conditions and add another OC1 model, the SHAKA, for the downwind/surf conditions with more rocker. To offer 2 different, more specific designs is in our opinion necessary for not losing performance by trying to implement to many specifications in one design. All in one would end up as a compromise between hull speed and manoeuvrability. We would like to reach maximum performance and we believe this way we achieve it. So we straightened the rocker profile of the supersonic and trimmed all details for maximum efficiency the design went thru numerous fluid-simulations to find the best possible result.

Nalu SHAKA
The Nalu SHAKA is our second OC1 model and is competing our concept of designs. It is developed for the best all-round performance but optimised for downwind and surf conditions.
It has a slightly more progressive rocker-profile than the Supersonic and the volume is concentrated more in the middle of the hull. At 6,20m it is shorter than the Supersonic, which makes the canoe react faster, turn better, and catch and ride waves easier. But we also paid careful attention to make sure we keep the good glide in the flats for all-round best performance.

Nalu Synergy
The Nalu Synergy was born, driven by the idea of sharing paddling moments with friends and family.
It is based on the experience we made with the OC1 models and is the fusion of both concepts. It is a high-performance racing-canoe, but still comfortable for recreational use. We designed the cockpits very close to each other for a responsive OC1 feeling in surf.
The racy ama has numerous trimming options to find the right trim for every crew and any condition.
This canoe is extremely fun whether race or leisure purpose.
