Which OC1 canoe is right for you? - The Volare and Cantare Outrigger Canoes

- As we put more and more miles under the Cantare and get feedback from women and other folks who have been left out of the process in the past, we found that there is performance to be gained by going smaller. Big boats with more buoyancy certainly have their place especially in offshore conditions for medium-large people, but smaller folks now have a boat that they can take into any condition and make it move, jump and connect like they couldn't do pushing a bigger boat around.

I’m older guy. 185 lbs. Paddle mostly flat water and love my new Cantare! Great design.
I'm retired female and I'm considering buying a Cantare and was told my legs are to long for this boat. My inseam 36", for height of 5'10". What is your height?
@@barboahu I’m 5’ 7”. 30 inch inseam. I’d have to agree that you’re probably too tall / long for the cantare.
Would you think the Puakea Ehukai would work better?@@gregjones8427
I'm right at 170-171lb. I do paddle flat in races (mostly, sadly), but my main focus is downwinding on anything from 2ft to 6 ft lake chop. I love the shorter water line of my Volare, and wondering if going down even further to a cantare would be even better. I also like the lighter weight of the cantare as a potential benefit. Would you recommend I consider the cantare for DW, or stick with the volare? Also, what's the benefit of the new 2.0ama? Will that give me significant gains on DW as well?
I'm an old guy also, 74 1/2, I'm counting the halves now, stopped buying green bananas but still enjoying paddling, have totalled both my rotator cuffs, inoperable, I do a lot of white water in the winter and flat and ocean in the summer, I use the wing paddle (kayak) this paddle gives me momentum, I'm still a strong paddler, problem is my balance is not as good as it was and I can't take my Epic V10 out any more I'd love to get back into down winding and I see this craft as a way back, my shoulders won't allow me to use a single paddle, can I use a double paddle in a modified outrigger, what do you think, do you have an outlet in Perth Australia, 🤞
I lived in hood river and paddled for Kai O'pua in kona. Now I live in florida and paddling is not big yet. How can we get more canoes here?
Hey Ken, agreed! its not always easy just to inject a whole bunch of canoes into a place like Florida and expect everyone to be stoked long term on it. There is an Outrigger Zone dealer on in Clearwater Florida and our friend Paolo is in Miami cultivating a community there as well. I would start there if you want a canoe.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to "jump start" va'a/outrigger paddling in a community outside of getting your hands dirty and building a community of paddlers around the idea that being on the water is good for us and everyone around us.
If starting from scratch, Start with a couple oc1s and share them with those interested. When people start asking about it, be open and friendly with any tidbits of awareness and education. Start teaching people the basics of how to be more confident and faster on the canoe. If you get more than 6 people interested then you can start shopping for a oc6 new or used and split the cost and launch your own 501c3 nonprofit canoe club in order to secure the financials. Then you can petition local businesses for donations and give them the tax writeoffs.
Or Find your nearest canoe club, there are more than a few I know of. Kana Lui Miami, Florida Paddling Hui, Lokahi Jacksonville and Lokahi Cocoa Beach. Kai Aniana in Clearwater. And volunteer as much as you can in races, community outreach, coaching, kids programs.
Good Luck Hope this helps,

Hi would you recommend the cantare over the kahele for a smaller rider? i’m 1.65 54kg female. currently riding a kahele. thanks!
I’m also interested in this
Yes, absolutely
The cantare effectively replaces the kahele for anyone under 160 Lbs/72Kg. The Kahele might still be better in flat water for anyone over 160Lbs
Had an ares for a few years, but lost it and need to replace. Considering a volare but unsure how it performs in the flat
Which is faster in the flat?
Many thanks.
With some obvious bias, Our testing has showed that the Volare has a definite edge in flat water over the Ares, but are probably considered equals in downwind conditions depending on rider preferences.
What about kahele?
We have other videos on our channel discussing the Kahele.
Here is our Kahele Playlist: ruclips.net/video/esfva1919w4/видео.html
How about the Kahale?
The Kahele has been effectively replaced by the Cantare. If you are between 180-210 Lbs and ONLY want a flatwater boat then the Kahele might be a better choice, but the surf performance of both the Volare and the Cantare outshine the Kahele.
@@PuakeaDesigns thank you for the prompt reply! I weigh 150lbs. Would cantare be a good fit for me?
Yes the Cantare would be a great fit for you.@@crash1989
@@crash1989 yes absolutely.
Yall place too much value on your craftsmanship. Give us a break down of parts to labor? My price of course. I'll wait.
