You enjoy whitewater and open water, rivers and creeks, but you can't afford to keep an entire quiver of boats to cover every paddling scenario. Pyranha created the Fusion Kayak to solve this problem by giving you a one-boat option for both fast-moving water and open stretches of ocean or lake. One of two boats in Pyranha's river touring lineup, the Fusion is first and foremost forgiving. The hull is more stable and less sensitive to lateral movement than a river runner like the Everest, but it's more maneuverable than the long-and-fast Speeder.
A built-in skeg system improves tracking on open water, the two-position backrest can be adjusted for either comfort or control, and the rear hatch is roomy enough to hold up to 78 liters of gear for a long day on open water. Hit the river and you'll discover the surprising maneuverability offered by the hull rocker, the foam bulkhead that keeps you floating high over river features, and the grab loops and rescue points that add security not typically offered by a touring boat. For everyone from aspiring to expert paddlers, this boat offers the ideal balance between the nimble shape and safety of a river boat and the comfort and efficiency of a touring rig.
Details

- Hull has soft lines and an even volume distribution that make it feel predictable and stable when you lean to edge or initiate a roll
- Top of the deck has a v-shaped crown to aid water drainage and a small groove to hold your paddle in place when you need both of your hands to grab gear
- Connect 30 outfitting offers fully adjustable
- Flip-top backrest can be folded up or down depending on the paddler's preference, with one position offering more comfort and the other, more control
- Cockpit lip accepts your favorite spray skirt to keep water out of the cockpit
- Engage the drop-down skeg to improve tracking on flat, open water
- Skeg box is designed to minimize drag so you can paddle with maximum efficiency with the skeg up or down
- Rear hatch cover features a waterproof seal, and the hatch (on the medium) boasts 78 liters of storage space, enough for a couple days worth of camping and paddling gear
- Hatch on small has 60 liters of space, while the hatch on the large has 82 liters
- Lightweight foam bulkhead adds buoyancy to the stern of the boat so you don't have to worry about using buoyancy airbags
- Rescue points allow you to attach a carabiner or rope at the bow or stern when you need to z-drag or leverage a pinned boat
