AirFusion Performance Single
$849
Designed to rival the performance of skin on frame kayaks such as Feathercraft or Folbot but without the numerous parts, the AirFusion uses high pressure air chambers to reduce set-up time. The AirFusion has a narrow beam which makes it perform more like a rigid hard shell kayak: it is faster but less stable than the AdvancedFrame models. The AirFusion has zipper accessed storage below decks. This kayak is ideal for paddlers with some experience looking for a portable kayak or a great price for their first boat.
