Unleash Speed and Maneuverability with the Ballare OC2

Experience the thrill of effortless speed and unparalleled maneuverability with the Ballare OC2. Drawing inspiration from the renowned Puakea OC1 designs, this canoe offers a refined balance of power and agility. Its low-drag design is engineered for flatwater performance, letting you reach the limits of speed without compromising control. Whether you’re slicing through calm waters or carving waves in the surf, the Ballare delivers a responsive, exciting paddling experience.

The shorter length of the Ballare provides excellent agility, making it perfect for navigating tight corners and quick turns in the surf. It’s a perfect choice for paddlers who seek a combination of both flatwater speed and surf-ready performance. With the Ballare, you’ll be able to enjoy the best of both worlds—speed on the flats and nimbleness in the surf, all while maintaining a smooth and controlled ride.

Versatile Steering and Ideal for Learning

One of the standout features of the Ballare OC2 is its versatile steering system. Designed to allow either or both paddlers to take control, it makes the Ballare an ideal choice for paddling pairs at any skill level. Beginners will appreciate the opportunity to learn and develop their steering technique, while experienced paddlers can enjoy seamless coordination with a partner.

This dual-steering capability allows paddlers to take full advantage of the Ballare’s responsiveness, especially in dynamic conditions. Whether you’re paddling on calm waters or navigating through challenging waves, the ability to adjust your steering is invaluable for optimizing performance and ensuring smooth, synchronized movements.

Innovative Design for Stability and Performance

The Ballare OC2 is a breakthrough in canoe design, offering superior stability without sacrificing performance. Its narrow hull provides an optimal waterline for smaller paddlers, delivering efficiency and speed. Despite its slim profile, the design includes ample buoyancy, making it an excellent choice for larger paddlers as well. This versatility ensures that paddlers of all sizes can enjoy the Ballare without compromising performance.

The innovative ama design is rethought to minimize wetted surface, reducing drag and improving maneuverability. The result? A canoe that can turn on a dime and glide effortlessly across the water. When it comes to catching waves, the Ballare is equipped to run down waves with minimal resistance, making it an exceptional choice for those who love to ride the surf.

Safe, Responsive, and Feather-light Steering

The Ballare is equipped with lightweight carbon pedals paired with corrosion-resistant titanium hardware, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. Its versatile steering system allows for easy configuration, enabling you to steer from the front, back, or both cockpits simultaneously, with the ability to adjust on the fly. The steering cables are made from Dyneema, a high-strength, low-weight composite fabric that’s twice as strong as stainless steel but only 1/5th the weight, offering superior performance without added bulk.

The Ballare’s self-centering rudder mechanism keeps the canoe on course even when you stop pressing the pedals, ensuring stability in the rare event that a cable breaks mid-paddle. Additionally, you can choose from five prepreg carbon-titanium rudders, each designed for specific conditions. From a 4” rudder for minimal drag in flatwater to an 11” option for maximum grip in challenging conditions, plus swept-back designs to keep weeds from interfering, the Ballare offers the ideal setup for every paddling environment.

Rudder Options

You can choose from 5 prepreg carbon-titanium rudders to fit conditions: from a 4″ for minimal drag in the flat to an 11″ for grip in the biggest conditions, plus swept-back options to keep weeds off.

Outriggerzone Construction: Puakea Designs

Outriggerzone canoes, such as the Ballare, are designed with a one-piece seamless construction that minimizes weight while eliminating weak spots like glue lines.

Crafted using prepreg carbon fiber, a high-performance material originally developed in the aerospace industry, these canoes feature resin that cures at high temperatures. This advanced construction method ensures precise control over weight and eliminates unwanted additives, resulting in a lightweight, high-strength canoe that maintains its shape and performance over time, even under the toughest conditions.

Standard Model and Pro Model

Technology:

Standard: Average Weight:

Bare Hull	22.9 lbs 10.4 kg
Hull Weight	25.1 lbs 11.4 kg
Rigged Weight	30.9 lbs 14.0 kg

Description:

The Standard Ballare offers exceptional customization with 16 color options for the hull, ama, and logos, allowing you to create a unique design that suits your style. Further personalize your canoe with options such as a deck-hull split, a colored cockpit, or choose from a wide selection of graphics—either from our catalog or your own custom designs. Tailor every detail to make your Ballare truly one-of-a-kind.

Standard Ballare also comes with fitted dust covers for the hull, ama, and iakos.

Pro: Average Weight:

Bare Hull	20.3 lbs 9.2 kg
Hull Weight	22.5 lbs 10.2 kg
Rigged Weight	28.2 lbs 14.0 kg

Description:

Ballare Pro models are designed to be lighter than the Standard version by an average of 2.6lbs (1.2kg). The weight reduction is achieved through a refined process, which limits the amount of paint applied and sands down the surface to a thin layer, giving the Pro models their signature sanded-through appearance. Due to this design approach, Ballare Pro hulls are available in just five color options: Pro White, Pro Blue, Pro Green, Pro Yellow, and Pro Grey. Customization is focused on the cockpit and logos, with the ama and iakos available in any color of your choice.

Ballare Pros also come with a second rudder and a set of UV-resistant fitted marine canvas covers for protection from long-term outdoor exposure.
