Aloha!
I recently acquired an OC1 and was looking to see if anyone could identify the manufacturer/ model of the boat. Needs some work and is missing iakos and an ama. Was hoping to pair it up with the ama that was meant for this canoe. Any help would be appreciated!!
Pictures attached!

It looks like a Tiger Makia maybe?

Model - Kaku Elua
Manufacturer - Designs By John Puakea
Google "Kaku Elua" and see the pics to compare and mabe get some listing to classifieds of parts for it.
There was at least one being sold on here

Huki does sell an aftermarket seat and a set of iako for it, but no ama.

Thanks everyone! Confirmed with Puakea that it is indeed a Kaku Elua. They believe the mold for the ama is at Newport Aquatic Center (NAC) and John is going to check on it for me. Thanks again.
