Entry for CANOE – ONAK-X by ONAK CANOES
« We are ONAK canoes and we will join the Paddle Sports Show for the first time this year. »
« We think we could qualify for the Product of the Year Award, in the Canoeing category. »
« Our product is a folding canoe, which can be set up origami wise and can be transported compactly. Moreover, it is very strong, unsinkable due to the specially developed sheet material and very light (<15 kg for the 2-person version). Naturally, the sailing characteristics such as stability, maneuverability and comfort are also of a high level. Assembly and packing of the Onak only takes about 10 to 15 minutes. No prior knowledge or additional tools are required. »
« You are undoubtedly aware that several folding boats have been available on the market for several years now. But our most recent model, the Onak-X, has 2 unique features: »
1) First of all, it is a hybrid boat, meaning it can be sailed in both a traditional canoe way and in a kayak way with double bladed paddle. The well-considered sitting position with back support plays an important role in this. Available in 1- and 2-person version.
2) The Onak-X is not only available as a standard ready-to-go, but also as a DIY version (do it yourself). With 2 hours of manual work consisting of tying straps, placing stickers and prefolding the hull, you can get to know your boat better and save 200€.
