The Kauhola V-3 Canoe is now in Full production
The Kauhola V-3 is another collaboration of Tiger and Philippe Bernadino from Tahiti. Philippe is a well respected and accomplished canoe builder, coach and world champion.
The V-3 was designed to be an open ocean, down-wind run canoe. Light and easily maneuverable, the canoe was meant to skip thru the ocean, connecting waves seamlessly. And it does. However, in addition to the open ocean fun… the Kauhola does remarkably well in the flat and has been getting great reviews as a training tool for 6 man paddling. In addition it can be fitted for sailing and physically challenged athletes with the ability to rig on both sides.
