The Kahuna models are playful and light weight. Being only 35 lbs, they accelerate quickly and are easy to handle. An upswept bow makes a fine water entry, and the defined keel allows the kayak to track well. A rudder is not necessary, but it is an available option. There is ample gear storage for multi-day trips. Optional hatches will simplify loading. The cockpit of the Big Kahuna is wider and longer, allowing for easier entry for a taller or larger paddler.

Of our “sit-in” kayaks, the Kahuna models are the simplest to assemble, having the fewest frame pieces. With practice, assembly will take 20 minutes.

Skill Level - Novice, Intermediate
Assembly Time - 20 min
Pack Size - 92 x 50 x 25 cm

Optional Hatch Sizes:
• Small bow 20 x 11cm (8 x 4.5″)
• Medium stern 33 x 20cm (13 x 8″)
• Large stern 40 x 30cm (16 x 12″)

The Big Kahuna is exactly the same kayak as the Kahuna, but with a larger cockpit (75 x 46 cm / 29.5″x 18″). The cockpit opening is longer and wider to accommodate the larger paddler.

How to decide which one is right for you? Kahuna or Big Kahuna? Our rule of thumb is the Big Kahuna is suited for a tall person (6 ft. +). The cockpit is longer and the bow crossrib that your legs go through is further forward. Also the Big Kahuna suits anyone needing extra width, or if you just like to have a roomier cockpit. The Kahuna, with the smaller cockpit, gives a snugger fit.
