Seth Allen & Kenny Kaneko in Hayama, Japan
Catching up with Team Rider Seth Allen & Kai Wa'a Dealer Kenny Kaneko in Hayama, Japan. Born and raised on Oahu, Seth made the decision to go to school in Japan to broaden his horizons. After their shared loved of paddling made them fast friends, we were stoked when Seth introduced Kenny to us and we then introduced him to the crew at Outrigger Zone. Full circle moment with Kenny becoming a Dealer soon after that, and the rest is history!
Mahalo Kenny for welcoming Seth into the Japan paddling ohana and giving him a second home in new waters.

I have a lot to be thankful for. It’s all here in this video. Adventure, community, friendships, and good times. Thank you Hayden for capturing so many of my passions wrapped up in one video. THIS is #MYKAIWAALIFE. Ares OC1 Video by Hayden Ramler
Esplendydo,recanto!
What is the benefits of the piece on the left side compared to the other canoes?
Sweet 🤙🏾🤙🏾
LOVED this Video. Thank you!
so good 🤙🏼
damn
YES awesome clips! Let's make more of these!
Awesome!
Espetacular!
More of these please 😀
You have a nice place to rig.... I am on a cement pier so it's trickier.
Do you have any videos on how to replace the steering cord? I purchased a used Ares OC1 and I would like to replace the steering cords. Thanks
Thank you. Simple and easy to do. Tried to doing it without this video caused would of made it worse. 🤙🤙🤙
You didnt design the Polaris hull Kai.
And you were commissioned to do the deck and were told what I mainly wanted. Still BS-ing after all these years.
I'm curious if there's ever a reason to rig the Ama nose down (tippy up front) but more stable in the back or vise versa?
Our dragon boat club just purchased one of your boats, a Gemini. First, its such a great boat! Light and fast. What I'm most impressed with is the brilliant but simple engineering of the steering cables and how you can disconnect and connect them so easily between the front and the back seats. Nice job!
My ares have a rudder for weed, but I paddle mostly in flat water no weeds would a flat water rudder make it more faster and stable?
If you paddle mostly in flat water the Ares Flat Water rudder would be your best bet as it provides the least amt of drag and still allows proper maneuverability. No real difference in stability.
@@kealanibartlett1137 Thank you , just ordered a flat water rudder
I don't understand. A flat water rudder would be shorter--no need for depth in waves, no? So also good for weeds. I just have the rudder that came with it. Good for training and good for when I get in the waves.
Videos are great… Thank you! I’d be really interested in a “How to replace your steering line for the ARES” as I unfortunately need to do this currently.
Yes. We have it on the list but not quite done yet. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully soon!
I wish I saw this video before scratching up my wa’a. 😂😂😂
I know the feeling, brother! When you see the right way you sort of go "duh!" that's obvious!
Is it possible to use oc1 as surf ski without attaching outrig?
We wouldn't recommend it:)
Hey, Robert Norman has a few videos of himself paddling without the ama, but not for long@@kealanibartlett1137
I've see a person use a surfski with a single (outrigger style) paddle, but the OC-1 must be less stable that surfski for sure, without the ama.
These instructional videos are great for people like me! Any chance you can do one on how to repair small scratches and chips that don't need to be taken in for specialized repair?
Thanks. Great suggestion, hoping to do more HOW TO videos like this.
Kukui'ula
Yes! One of our favorite family spots.
I thought you had said when you built the Draco it would come with a swept back rudder. A friend of mine here in florida bought one and he is haveing a lot of problems with weeds because it came with a surf rudder like your showing here.
There is a weed rudder ("swept back rudder") that is offered for the Draco OC1. If you head to our website you are able to purchase it from our shop or you can check with your local dealer to see if they have one they would be able to sell you.
Perfect video, just when I needed it.
Also first
Much love from Puerto Rico. Thanks for the information.
Nice edit!
Looking strong as always 🤙 Much love from Singapore
Thanx for Posting! Great angles.
Thank you Hayden Ramler always delivers for us🤙🏽
Epic!!! Can’t wait to try this run one day 🙏🏼🔨🔨
Yessah!
These dominated at Chattajack this year, 2022.
It was fun to hear how much paddlers are enjoying a canoe designed for their waters. Stoked 🤙

Where is the Gorge located at?
The Columbia River Gorge is between Washington and Oregon. It is so much fun! Paddling there is a bucket list for sure.
Very cool video! Such a beautiful canoe. There won’t ever be any debate about the fastest OC1 on flat/calm water. Can’t wait to try it out on the rivers and lakes I paddle on. A huge Mahalo Kai!!
Just want people to be excited to get on a canoe designed specifically for them. Mahalo
should show case the right side ama rigging and dual ama setups as well.
Yes will have to do another video to highlight it for sure. Been getting good feedback from the dragon boat communities on this function.
Yessah, mean action! Chee!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Mahalo! I enjoy learning more about history of your awesome designs.
Yeah Kai 🤙🏽🦅⚡️
Oregon coast one of the gems of the whole world
Sick vid!👊 Beautiful coastline!❤
Any OC1 for sale ?
Hi Marc! Yes. Please check in with your local dealer to see if they have any OC1 in stock or if you can put a custom order in. Feel free to email us directly and we will put you in touch with the right person (info@kaiwaa.com).
I love the boat tribute of Draco to all of us dragon boat paddlers up here in the great white north!
Is this like the kahele version ?
The Draco OC1 is designed for paddlers of all weights in flat to calm water. Features like lower volume, less rocker and lighter weight are all features to help the canoe excel in the flat to calm water.
dont insult KAiwaa products by comparing it to some inferior boat!
That will be the perfect Chattajack boat! Speaking of, I hope to see you both at our party on the Thursday night at the brewery!.
Definitely hoping to make it out there. If I do, I will for sure be there at the brewery!
A weed shedding bow for here in Florida. Lots of floating weeds and leaves in the flat/calm water here. I'm ready to upgrade my Hurricane and this looks like the right one.
Stoked! Yes the Draco will be offered with the OZONE weed rudder.
Great mix of song-footage. Nice one👍
if you guys want to really hit it off with the dragon boaters make sure the ama can go left or right of the hull.
Beat you to the punch. You can do more than that. We will post more of what we cn do with rigging once we get our first production Draco here.
@@kealanibartlett1137 awesome sauce! well done!
Ares King of the surf!
