That vision extends beyond crafting canoes; it’s about fostering a global community that embraces the beauty of water sports, promotes sustainable practices, and shares the joy of paddling.
Nalu canoes are the culmination of precision engineering, state-of-the-art design, and cutting-edge technology. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) is used to create meticulous blueprints and simulate real-world performance. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining ensures every component is precisely cut to perfection. The unwavering commitment to technology results in canoes that are at the forefront of innovation, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.
Prior to assembly, our materials undergo a journey of precision. Computer-controlled cutting machines meticulously pre-cut all materials, ensuring a perfect fit in every component. This step is where technology meets craftsmanship, guaranteeing that each piece aligns seamlessly in the creation of your canoe. After lamination, the canoe molds are subjected to the meticulous process of vacuum-bagging. Placed within autoclaves, they experience three times atmospheric pressure and heat. This treatment results in a superior bonding between layers, culminating in a canoe that is light, robust, and reliable.
