Galasport Omakase

Just like with the Japanese term „Omakase“, with which you leave the meal selection to the chef, with this boat you take your chances from our main K1 boat designer Boris Neveu, two-time world champion and European champion. OMAKASE is and upgrade of the CAIPI FINS kayak, also developed by Boris. It is not a replacement for very dynamic CAIPI FINS, which will still continue to have its customers. It is another step further to create a boat, that would have similar characteristics to CAIPI FINS, but without having the fins at the hull. Some customers are skeptical about the fins and still prefer smooth hull and we so we wish we could help. In order to replace fins but keep the boat characteristics same, the angular hull profile was implemented, which made OMAKASE great at holding the line, doesn’t tend to swing back and forth on the course or during acceleration. Making the hull wider in an area formerly addopting fins the kayak gained some more on stability. Rear part of the cockpit area was lowered 10mm compared to CAIPI FINS, so it is very easy to recline without hitting the cockpit edge with your back or pfd. The deck in front of the cockpit was made more flat to make pushing the boat under the gate posts easier. Due to additional minor changes in the stern area, the turning abilities changed for the better as well.
