High Tech Canoes by Nalu
Now available in Singapore!
Founded in 2007 by Marton Buday, a decorated champion in sprint canoeing and dragon boat racing, Nalu Canoes was born from a vision to merge world-class composite engineering with the soul of ocean paddling. Drawing on Buday’s background in aerospace and motorsports engineering, the brand has established a global reputation for unmatched quality, utilizing advanced 100% prepreg carbon autoclave construction to create canoes that are remarkably light, rigid, and durable. This commitment to precision—from CAD-driven designs to CNC-machined components—has earned Nalu a dedicated following across the world's most iconic paddling destinations. We are thrilled to announce that this elite level of performance and innovation is reaching local shores, as Nalu Canoes will soon be available for orders right here in Singapore.
Material
Nalu Canoes combine featherweight agility with industrial durability. Through precision engineering and premium materials, each hull provides a responsive ride that maintains its structural integrity over time.
Unidirectional Carbon Precision
We utilize unidirectional prepreg carbon fiber—a non-woven fabric of perfectly parallel strands—to eliminate the structural weaknesses found in standard cross-weaves. Impregnated via an advanced, computer-controlled resin process, this gap-free construction maximizes longitudinal tensile strength for immediate power transfer.
Engineered Core Stiffness
At the heart of every Nalu canoe lies a high-density, closed-cell PVC foam core. This material is the secret to our exceptional strength-to-weight ratio: it remains impervious to water absorption while providing the rigid spine necessary for a responsive, lightweight, and durable ride.
Marine-Grade Defense
Every hull is finished with high-quality 2K marine paint, creating a protective shield that offers 100% UV defense and superior resistance to chemicals and abrasions. This layer not only preserves the pristine aesthetic of your canoe but actively fortifies the structure against the harsh reality of the ocean environment.
Synergy
made by Nalu
The Nalu Synergy is a high-performance double outrigger canoe (OC2) designed to bridge the gap between competitive racing and recreational enjoyment with friends and family. Drawing inspiration from Nalu’s OC1 lineage, it features a unique design where the cockpits are positioned closely together to provide a responsive, "solo" feel and better communication between paddlers. Built with 100% prepreg carbon and an autoclave curing process, the Synergy is remarkably lightweight and rigid, equipped with a versatile ama that offers multiple trim options to suit various crew weights and water conditions. It comes standard with premium features like Dyneema steering cables, self-adjusting draining valves, and integrated bottle holders for a seamless experience on the water. The Nalu Synergy is now available in Singapore—get yours today and elevate your paddling adventure!
Supersonic
made by Nalu
The Nalu Supersonic represents the fifth generation of Nalu’s premier flat-water and moderate-condition specialist, refined over 15 years for elite speed and efficiency. At 6.35 meters, it features a straightened rocker profile and a streamlined hull design that was perfected through extensive fluid simulations to achieve the highest possible hull speed. While the Shaka is built for the surf, the Supersonic is the ultimate tool for paddlers seeking maximum glide and efficiency in calmer waters or light chop. Every detail, from the lightweight carbon iakos to the precision Dyneema steering, is tuned for the dedicated paddler who refuses to compromise on performance.

Supernova
made by Nalu
The Nalu Supernova is a specialized OC1 specifically engineered for smaller or lighter paddlers (typically up to 70kg) who require a lower-volume vessel for optimal control. By shortening the length to 5.70 meters and narrowing the underwater hull, Nalu has minimized the wetted surface area to ensure maximum speed and efficiency for juniors, women, and lightweight athletes. The ergonomic cockpit and integrated wave deflector are tailored to provide a drier, more effective paddling stroke even in rougher conditions, ensuring the canoe feels like a custom extension of the paddler. Despite its compact size, it maintains the same elite autoclave carbon construction and high-end components found across the Nalu range.

Shaka
made by Nalu
The Nalu Shaka is a high-performance single outrigger canoe (OC1) specifically engineered for versatility, with a design optimized for downwind runs and ocean surf. At 6.20 meters, it features a shorter hull and a more progressive rocker profile than its predecessors, allowing for faster reaction times, sharper turning, and effortless wave-catching while maintaining a smooth glide in flat-water conditions. Built using premium 100% prepreg carbon autoclave construction, the Shaka integrates thoughtful, paddler-centric features such as an automatic draining valve, a built-in GPS watch mount, and an ergonomic adjustable seat to deliver a precise and exhilarating experience in any water state. The Nalu Shaka is now available in Singapore—get yours today and elevate your paddling adventure!
Precision Engineering
CAD (Precision Modeling)
Nalu Canoes utilizes advanced CAD software to generate precise 3D models of every hull. This digital blueprinting process allows for the optimization of every curve and detail, ensuring functional efficiency is maximized before physical production begins.
CAE (Structural Analysis)
Through Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), designs undergo rigorous digital simulation and analysis. This step evaluates structural integrity and material properties under real-world conditions, ensuring every canoe meets strict performance and durability standards.
CNC (Automated Manufacturing)
Manufacturing leverages Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology for exact shaping. Controlled by precise digital programming, this process guarantees consistent cuts and complex geometries, ensuring every component matches the design specifications perfectly.
