Stoke - Waka Kayaks

Here's what we know so far: The Stoke is by far the most agile boat that Waka has ever produced. It is fast, loose, predictable, surfable, easier to roll, has more hand room, and boasts impressive secondary stability. While it may have some drawbacks like any boat, the only thing noticed so far is that when using the stern as a style surface, one must remember that it is a full-volume creek boat.

The Stoke isn't replacing any boats in the Waka range, but is rather complementing the Steeze/Puffy Steeze in particular. It fills the gap when you need the extra volume and speed while being absolutely familiar to those who have used the Puffy Steeze, making it slick to switch between the two depending on the water you're running. The Stoke will be a good alternative to the Gangsta for racing in proper whitewater courses as it is far easier to control with extra rocker and a release hull. For more flat water races, the Gangsta will still reign supreme. The OG is still the king in the shorter creeker range. Its size and rocker love tight steep creeks of any volume.

Enjoy the Stoke!
