The Puakea Volare OC1: Designed for Mid to Larger Paddlers

Designed for Larger Conditions and Bigger Paddlers

The Puakea Volare OC1 Outrigger Canoe is crafted to meet the needs of mid- to heavier paddlers who want high performance without compromise. Taking inspiration from the Kahele, the Volare brings added volume and buoyancy for effortless power in rough water and superb speed on the flat. Its design excels at holding speed between bumps, flying through chop, and gliding seamlessly across waves—making it the perfect choice for paddlers who want stability and speed across a range of conditions.

Engineered for Speed, Stability, and Smooth Transitions

With its enhanced midsection volume, shorter waterline, and supple rocker, the Volare is designed for exceptional balance and rapid takeoff. This configuration provides smoother transitions, making it quick off the line while delivering a stable, controlled ride, even in challenging surf. The Volare’s advanced design adapts to larger conditions, while still ensuring the smooth glides that paddlers expect in flatwater, letting you focus on what matters—powering forward and enjoying the ride.

Perfect for Beginners and Seasoned Paddlers Alike

Built for versatility, the Puakea Volare is ideal for both beginners seeking stability and experienced paddlers aiming to level up their surfing skills. Its wider build offers the security of a stable platform, while its hydrodynamic design gives it the edge for more challenging conditions. From powerful surges in open water to controlled glides on the flat, the Volare caters to every paddling style, empowering you to reach your peak performance.

Safe, Responsive, and Feather-light Steering

The Volare is equipped with a lightweight, adjustable carbon footbrace featuring corrosion-proof titanium hardware for lasting durability. Its steering cables are crafted from Dyneema, an ultra-strong, low-weight composite that’s twice as strong as stainless steel and only a fifth of the weight. A covered, self-centering rudder mechanism keeps the canoe tracking straight whenever you release the pedals—a crucial feature if a cable ever breaks mid-paddle. For versatile performance, choose from five prepreg carbon-titanium rudders, ranging from a 4″ rudder for minimal drag in flat water to an 11″ rudder for maximum grip in challenging conditions, with swept-back designs to prevent weed buildup.

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

The Volare, built by Outriggerzone is crafted as a single, seamless piece, eliminating weak points like glue lines and significantly reducing weight.

Built with aerospace-grade prepreg carbon fiber, this advanced construction method uses resin that’s heat-cured directly into the material. This precise process ensures optimal weight control, eliminates unnecessary fillers, and delivers a canoe that retains its shape and rigidity over time, offering unmatched durability and performance.

Description:

Volare Pro models are crafted to be lighter than the Standard version by an average of 0.9lbs|0.4kg, thanks to a unique weight-saving process. While the structural layups remain the same, weight reduction is achieved by minimizing paint and sanding it down to a thin, sleek layer, giving the Pro models a distinctive sanded-through look. For this reason, Pro hulls are available in five exclusive colors—Pro Grey, Pro White, Pro Blue, Pro Green, and Pro Yellow—with customization limited to cockpit and logo colors. The ama and iakos, however, can be fully customized in any color of your choice.

Additionally, Volare Pros come equipped with a secondary rudder and a set of UV-resistant fitted marine canvas covers, offering optimal protection for long-term outdoor exposure.
