The AirFusion Elite is the natural evolution of our award winning AirFusion Kayak. Designed to rival the performance and speed of skin-on-frame kayaks while simplifying the setup procedure, the AirFusion Elite has an even more streamlined setup than its predecessor. Its unique design is a fusion of aluminum alloy frame poles and pressurized air tubes which result in a high performance frame system. Other advancements include a wider beam of 28" which makes the AirFusion Elite roomier, more stable in rough conditions and gives it more storage capacity by providing a rear access hatch for easy access to under deck items. At 13" long, with a narrow beam, the AirFusion Elite maintains the AirFusion"s status as a quick and nimble kayak that tracks like a rigid hard-shell.
