Matt Clark managed to get a couple of demo boats from https://s2s-shop.com and has kindly sent in these images.

With production underway we are starting to see some detail on how the pod system works on the new Waka Kayaks Steeze.
Waka have released some images of their new Steeze kayak. The Steeze has a pod based system that allows you to control the boats volume.
It’s been some time since we’ve seen this type of system on a whitewater kayak.
Check it out.
Waka have a new range of kayaks launching shortly. The Tuna 2.0, Tutea and Gangster remain in the line up but will be joined by the Stout and OG.
Here is a run down of the range.
Tuna 2.0
Both Waka and Escape Watersports have recently launched brand new websites. Check them out.
We have had a huge response to the first look at the new Waka Gangsta we posted yesterday but wouldn’t it be interesting to see how the Gangsta compares with a few other kayaks.
So here is a Waka Gangsta comparison with the other kayaks in the Waka line up and the very popular Pyranha 9r.
As soon as I’d heard about the release of the Waka Gangsta I put down a deposit at my local kayak shop so I had one guaranteed for the first shipment. This year I’ve paddled the mark one Tuna quite a lot on a mix of steep creeks, class3/4 river running and the odd day on something big and bouncy. I’ve also managed to get my hands on a mark 2 Tuna on numerous occasions and seen the improvements that have come through from the mark one.
I’d got wind of a larger design coming from Waka early in the summer so I held off buying a mark 2 Tuna on the basis that the mark 1 and 2 always worked for me but felt a little bit like they weren’t performing to their full potential.
The new Gangsta from Waka Kayaks is now out in wild and being paddled by Aniol Serrasolses and crew. Aniol has released some footage of him paddling the Gangsta.
We’ve been sent a photo showing what appears to be a Waka Tuna. However this is not the hull shape that we are familiar with.
Here is a few shots of the current design for reference.
Is it a new design? Has it been shopped?
We are trying to find out more.
