AirFusion Elite Kayak
The AirFusion Kayak is designed to rival the performance and speed of skin-on-frame kayaks while simplifying the setup procedure. Its unique design is a fusion of aluminum alloy frame poles and pressurized air tubes which result in a high performance frame system. Made of heavy duty PVC Tarpaulin, the AirFusion features molded bow and stern end caps and hull abrasion guards for maximum durability. At 13ft long, with a narrow beam, the AirFusion is quick and nimble and tracks like a rigid hard-shell kayak that packs away into a duffel bag.
AirFusion Elite Kayak Features:
Performance: Aluminum frame, and high pressure air chambers provide a hull speed comparable to a hard-shell.
Quick Set Up: Compared to Frame and Skin Kayaks, high pressure air chambers reduce frame parts for faster set-up time.
Durable: Heavy-duty PVC Tarpaulin material for extreme puncture resistance.
