The Waka Skuxx is the boat many of you have been waiting for! Shorter than most other half-slice kayaks, the Skuxx surfs even the smallest waves, undercuts incredibly well, balances on the stern, and makes vertical moves — like loops — easier than ever before. And the best part: as you'd expect from a true Waka kayak, the Skuxx also performs brilliantly in whitewater. We've already thoroughly tested the new river runner and can recommend it without reservation.
In developing the Skuxx, Waka Kayaks took the successful Steeze as a starting point and reduced length, width and volume. After approximately two years of development and several prototypes, the result is a boat that in our opinion sets new standards for river runners.
Weigh more than 80 kg or need a bit more volume for trickier river sections and that extra kick on kickflips? Check out the
Waka Skuxx Deluxe. With 10 litres more volume in the stern, it could fulfil all your wishes.
In our blog, you'll find a
test report of the first Waka Skuxx and Skuxx Deluxe ever to come out of the rotational mould.
Manufacturer's Description
The Skuxx is the addition to the Waka range we've all been waiting for. It's a fast, fun and short half-slice kayak that's dynamic and agile. Named after the Kiwi slang word with versatile meaning, the Skuxx is also Waka's most versatile boat: downriver freestyle, wave manoeuvres and surfing, river runs up to easy class V, and flatwater tricks — this kayak is an all-rounder.
The Skuxx design is based on the Steeze, with width and volume around the cockpit. It has a more specialised surf hull that's super loose and responsive. The stern is stable, which makes flatwater tricks and going vertical easier. What also sets the Skuxx apart: it's still fast, floaty and comfortable even on class IV–V — a great combination.
The Skuxx suits a wide weight range. It rolls easily and is the perfect boat for beginners through to pros.
This boat is another truly innovative design from the Waka workshop and is exactly what we envisioned. The newest addition to the Waka fleet is the Skuxx!
