Unleashed from limitations, Mike Giblin set out to to redefine the potential of OC6 performance. The Vortex is an ultra light, ultra fast, ultra strong unlimited six person outrigger canoe.
Years of evolution in OC1 design led to a breakthrough when applied to OC6. The result was evident. The structural integrity gives this canoe a rigid responsiveness that improves the transfer of power with every push.
