The Illusion has performance beyond anything we hoped for see the Video and Review pages

 

High performance with a skeg.

Stable, very easy to control with boat lean and paddle strokes.

With new skeg "skeel" deployed it will even hold course in rear quartering seas.

Perfect combination of speed and maneuverability makes it perfect for:

      - Inter-coastal paddling

      - Playing in tide rips

      - Practicing Greenland rolling

.

Great for a day paddle but will also carry enough for week + camping trips.

Made for weights up to 265 lbs depending on how you like your fit
