The Illusion - The Ultimate Paddling Machine
The Illusion is ideal for adding variety in any
fitness routine and has earned a reputation as
the "Ultimate Paddling Machine".
It can be used as a Cross-Training alternative
to Running, Swimming or Bike Riding, and because
paddling is a low impact, total-body workout,
the Illusion is perfect for maintaining fitness
levels at times when injury prevents usual
training methods.
The Illusion has been designed to perform in
surf as well as on flat water, and comes
complete with a rudder and adjustable footrest
assembly, to make your paddling experience
even more enjoyable.
There is storage within the hull that can be
accessed through 2 rubber "pop-on"
hatches on the deck, as well as external
storage on the rear deck.
Great for people who want the performance
of a compact sea kayak but prefer to sit-on-top,
the Illusion is the most versatile and
comfortable ski, no matter what the
shape of the paddler!!
So, if you are looking for a high performance
sit-on-top, capable of covering longer distances
comfortably that is also suitable for catching
a few waves, the Illusion is just what you
are looking for!!
