C1 Edge

Edge – Proven Precision.

C1 Edge was developed on the successful foundation of the popular Hype C1, bringing a sharper and more defined character to the lineup.

The middle section of the hull was shaped with a more pronounced edge profile, giving the boat quicker reactions, cleaner carving, and more decisive direction changes. Added fins improve tracking and provide extra grip in key moments, helping paddlers maintain tighter lines through technical sections.

The model is available with either a traditional C1 cockpit or a “kayak-style” cockpit, allowing paddlers to choose the setup that best matches their preference and racing style.

Designed in collaboration with Liam Jegou and Nicolas Peschier, the Edge reflects the demands of its era — technical courses, dynamic transitions, and precise edge control.

C1 Edge remains a strong choice for paddlers who value defined edges, direct response, and confident line control.

Officially released in 2021.

Full Carbon

Full Carbon construction delivers exceptionally low weight and maximum stiffness. Carbon fiber is one of the strongest and lightest materials available — up to five times stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight — which is why it is widely used in aerospace and top-level motorsport. Our 100% carbon layup contains no additional aramid or glass fibers, resulting in a highly responsive, ultra-light, and performance-driven racing boat.

 

UD Carbon

Unidirectional (UD) carbon fibers run in a single direction, allowing us to place strength exactly where it is needed. Because carbon is strongest when loaded along its fiber axis, precise fiber orientation increases stiffness and durability while keeping weight extremely low. Compared to traditional woven carbon, UD construction delivers superior strength-to-weight performance — ideal for high-performance racing boats.

 

Multi-axial fibers

Multi-axial fibers are arranged at multiple angles and layers to resist different types of forces effectively. Because carbon performs best when loaded along its fiber axis, precise orientation and optimized lay-up design are essential for defining load paths and maximizing efficiency. Advanced construction methods allow us to place reinforcement only where it is needed, maintaining the same toughness and durability while achieving very low weight and improved stiffness.

 

Sandwich

Sandwich construction consists of multiple horizontal layers bonded together with epoxy resin to create a strong, unified structure. By combining ultra-light carbon fibers with a medium-density, high-quality PVC foam core, this technology delivers an exceptionally light yet strong and rigid boat construction with excellent structural integrity.

 

Hot Cured Epoxy

Hot Cured Epoxy ensures optimal mechanical performance and durability. While uncured epoxy resins offer limited mechanical, chemical, and heat resistance, controlled heat curing significantly enhances their structural properties. All Vajda boats are cured according to a precise temperature schedule to achieve maximum strength, durability, and long-term performance of the epoxy resin system.

 

Vacuum Bag

Vacuum bagging improves material consolidation by removing excess resin and air during the curing process. This results in a higher carbon-to-resin ratio, enhancing structural efficiency and significantly improving the strength-to-weight performance of the final product.

 

IRC System

IRC System (Integrated Reinforced Core) dramatically enhances boat stiffness, rigidity, and overall strength. Carbon ribs are fully integrated into both the deck and hull, creating a structure several times stronger than traditional soft-foam reinforcements. The system absorbs impact and deformation forces exceptionally well and has no memory effect, maintaining consistent performance over time.

IRC is the result of a unique combination of technology and experience, and is protected by international patent law through the World Trade Organization.

Vajda Group holds all exclusive rights for this technology, with pending patent PV 2012-217 and utility model PUV 2012-25829 officially registered.

 

Custom Sizes

Custom Sizes offer full flexibility beyond standard dimensions. From subtle size adjustments to fully customized modifications, each boat can be tailored to reflect your specific requirements and paddling style. This allows you to choose the perfect fit according to your weight and performance needs.
