Oeup

Posted on Dec 16, 2011

The Pueo has exceeded our wildest expectations. It has traveled to locations we can only dream of. It has won more races than we knew existed. But, most importantly, it has enhanced the lives of people around the world. While we believe it to be the best canoe on the market, we have taken on the challenge of creating its greatest rival. To do so, we are re-organzing, re-tooling, and gearing up to bring you the next revolution in outrigger canoeing. As of January 1st, we will no longer be taking new orders for the first generation Pueo. Feel free to inquire anytime about our progress on this new endeavor or about the availability of off-the-shelf canoes. And keep posted on our website for more information during this exciting time. We at Kamanu Composites thank you for your continued support over the years. Without it, none of this could have been possible.

*Edit: Due to some confusion, here is a bit of clarification:

1) The new canoe will still be the Pueo. As it will retain much of the design and performance aspects of it. Oeup, as the title of the blog post, was a reference to our first print advertisement for the Pueo. Not the name of the canoe.

2) It likely won't be available until mid-summer 2012. And we won't take orders on it until it has proven to be better than its predecessor.

3) The closing of the list has more to do with the excessive wait time and less to do with the new design
