Waitaha
Performance unlimited.
Designed for performance in technical whitewater, the Waitaha performs like no other whitewater packraft. From your local after-work Class 3 run, to back-country multi-day Class 4 journeys, the Waitaha is the best choice.
The Waitaha is a high-performance packraft for technical whitewater. It paddles like a kayak; it goes where you look, it carves, it boofs, it turns, and it threads lines with ease.
The Waitaha is the packraft for kayakers. It features:
- A curved displacement floor in both directions , providing full-length rocker and amazing secondary stability
- High volume in the front, keeping it on top of the water in the biggest drops
- A wide, curved stern for stability and edging
- Our unique integrated floor and seat that adds rigidity to the packraft, and can't be lost in the event of a swim
- Blue Duck's unique Control+ thigh strap system
- The choice of self-bailing or a fixed spray deck
- Brightly coloured grab handles for swimmer rescue
- An optional TiZip
