Vibe Kayaks Makana

Angling Kayak with X-Drive or Impulse Pedal Drive

Conquer the water with the Vibe Makana — the ultimate kayak for anglers and adventure seekers who demand performance, comfort, and versatility. The Makana blends rugged stability with cutting-edge pedal-drive technology to take your fishing or recreational experience to the next level.

The Makana can be equipped with either the Vibe X-Drive or Impulse Drive pedal system. The X-Drive is a flipper-based design, and the Impulse provides prop-based propulsion.  Both are extremely durable, constructed from marine-grade materials and deliver smooth, quiet propulsion. The X-Drive provides high efficiency and can continue to operate it shallower waters with a shorter stroke. The Impulse pedal drive is dual-directional, allowing you to easily switch between forward and reverse motion. Select your preferred drive when ordering!

Steering is handled by the Vibe rudder system, which is controlled by an easy to reach steering handle. The rudder provides effortless turns in tight spots and keeps you on track when pedalling across currents.

The Makana is designed for use on fresh or salt water and you will find the hull provides both reassuring stability and great manoeuvrability.  The deck outfitting has an impressive array of features for a kayak of this length. if you intend to do some stand-up fishing then you will appreciate the noise reducing grippy deck pads and the stable hull design.

At only 25Kg the hull is not difficult to car top and can be easily carried short distances by one person. If you have a longer walk to the water we recommend using the C-Tug trolley which can take a fully loaded Makana with ease.

Slot your favourite accessories into the factory fitted slide tracks, load up your gear into the generously sized rear storage area then drop a couple of rods into the rod holders and you are ready to go. If you are launching in very shallow water just use the paddle to head into deeper water the drop the X-Drive into place and go hands free!

The comfortable Vibe Hero 2.0 Framed Seat makes the Makana 100 perfect for all-day paddle adventures.
