When we design our Tahitian V1's, we start with the initial concept of a canoe, which will surpass other V1 Tahitian canoes in every aspect:
  • Better Lines
  • more buoyancy
  • stiffer hull and deck
  • higher grade raw materials
  • quality finishing touches
Our canoes are meticulously crafted with at least three passes of gelcoat with always at least two people laying and glassing the laminates. Each meter of carbon fiber in the mould is carefully rolled and checked for conformity for a stiffer result without compromising weight. We spend more time on the finishing touches because we strongly believe that it gives the edge over other Tahitian V1's made elsewhere. Hand made with pride in New Zealand by skilled Tahitian and Maori craftsmen.
