Description
UPDATE FEBRUARY 2025: We have a new shipment with Machete 65s on its way, arriving in New Zealand at the end of April 2025. Quite a few of the M65 are already reserved but we have some left. The colours above are what’s coming but if you want to book one in before the container arrives contact us. Some options are in low numbers.
The Machete 65 puts a smile on lightweight kayakers’ faces.
As one of many half-slice kayaks we wanted to make sure, there’s something about our Machete that sticks out. And well, we’re proud to say there’s no half-slice is as uncompromising as ours. We went with an incomparable rocker profile which allows the Machete to resurface in an extremely controlled manner. At the same time the tail is more slicey enabling you to pirouette for hours.
How did we combine such opposite characteristics one might ask? Here’s the answer to that: The Machete is blessed with a broad and flat hull from nose to tail making it pinball over waves and stoppers and switch right back in to control after landing. Neat and playful on easy sections, as well as fully in control in heavy whitewater – that’s what the Machete is all about.
You like to play in the waves? The flat hull does not just provide security but also makes it the “Queen of Waves”. It slides nicely into the waves and masters Spins, Blunts, Ender or Rocksplats. Surf’s up!
