New Paddling Gear
Vibe Kayaks Makana 100
by Vibe Kayaks, LLC
The Vibe Makana 100 has enhanced its versatility by accommodating two different pedal drives through a quick and easy pod swap. Paddlers can now purchase the 10-foot pedal kayak with an included fin drive or propeller drive, and now have the option of switching drives based on the adventure ahead.
Crafted with Vibe's unparalleled expertise, the Makana 100 stands out as the epitome of feature-packed 10-foot pedal kayaks, setting the standard for superior stability and maneuverability in its class. It has become a favorite amongst anglers due to its versatility and performance. As one enthusiast put it, “Having a light 10 ft kayak with a pedal drive that is ALSO stable and comfortable to sh out of is a massive deal. I've really found it excels in small water that would normally be a hassle with a bigger boat.”
The Vibe X-Drive is a n drive system, ideal for quickly covering long distances with minimal pedaling effort. It is less likely to catch on vegetation and underwater obstacles compared to the Impulse Drive, Vibe’s propeller drive system. However, the propeller drive provides the added advantage of instant reverse which helps positioning when fishing in deep open water.
