Unlike many overseas outrigger canoe races, the majority of race courses in Australia
encompass all conditions. Most races start and finish at close to the same point, meaning that one leg may consist
of solid swell and following seas - the next consisting of a massive headwind! In the past canoes have been
designed specifically with one condition or the other in mind - until the Bladerunner.
Specially designed for Australian conditions and Australian racing formats, the Bladerunner
OC6 combines maneuverability, 'surfability' along with solid tracking in order to give the best all-round performance throughout
each race leg, allowing the steerer to paddle more than any other OC-6 Design.
